Gorgeous!

You should also know that MAGENTA ROSE is a TB registered in 1976 by Gibson and introduced a year later.

You might want to give it an official name.

Thanks

When kept well-watered during the summer it will repeat bloom in the fall. It probably is a Louisiana Iris hybrid, but I am somewhat skeptical that it should be considered to be I. nelsonii. Its leaves are shorter and wider than the typical I. nelsonii plants I am familiar with. And the bloom stalk has the typical zigzag I. brevicaulis pattern.
