Description
The Iris 'Revved Up Rose' is an intermediate bearded iris with a bright fuchsia pink, almost solid and well fragrant. It forms vigorous clumps and numerous generously flowered scapes just as the first tall bearded iris begin to flower. This variety has been awarded in the USA.
This perennial plant belongs to the Iridaceae family. 'Revved Up Rose' is an intermediate bearded iris cultivar: in height and flowering period, it falls between dwarf bearded irises, which are shorter and earlier, and tall bearded irises. Its flower scapes reach 60-64 cm, bearing numerous buds that open one after another, most often in May. The plant develops from fleshy, horizontal rhizomes at soil level; they multiply at the edges, allowing the clump to gradually widen. The glaucous green leaves, long, narrow and pointed, are arranged in a fan and persist more or less in winter depending on the climate.
The flowers of 'Revved Up Rose' are an almost solid fuchsia pink. They display three upright petals in dark pink, lightly veined with indigo, and three trailing sepals in a slightly lighter and brighter fuchsia pink, with finely veined garnet shoulders. The beards are mandarin orange, clearly visible in the throat. The styles, at the heart of the flower, lean towards a brighter pink. These flowers give off a pronounced sweet fragrance.
'Revved Up Rose' is a hybridisation by Paul Black, registered in 2010 and introduced the same year by Mid-America Garden. Its seedling number is N259XX. It results from a cross between two seedlings derived notably from 'Subtle', 'Minidragon', 'Waiting for George' and 'Cimarron Trail'. This variety received an Honorable Mention from the American Iris Society in 2014.
'Revved Up Rose' is planted in borders in full sun, on slopes or in pink, purple and orange beds. Its colour also pairs very well with deep purple. You can combine it with the intermediate bearded irises 'Petit Moment' and 'Raspberry Silk', with Allium christophii 'Etoile de Perse' and the very late botanical tulip sprengeri.

Planting and care
Plant the iris ‘Revved Up Rose’ from July to October, when the rootstock can root before winter, or in spring in heavy soils that remain damp in autumn. Choose a very sunny position, with at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Prepare a light, loose, fairly rich soil, neutral to alkaline or slightly acidic, but above all well-drained. In clay soil, plant on a slight mound and mix gravel or coarse sand into the planting soil. Place the rootstock almost at the surface, with the back facing the sun, then cover only the roots. Water after planting, then only during prolonged droughts in the first year. Remove spent flowers as they appear. Cut the flower stalks down to the base, but keep the healthy leaves until they turn yellow. Apply a little mature compost in spring, around the clump, without covering the rootstocks. Divide the clumps every three or four years, in summer, when the centre produces fewer flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
