Linda, at this point I'd classify it as a cycle rebloomer with the repeat factor (whatever that may be) thrown in the mix. The timing of fall rebloom seems to vary with the climate. It blooms in the summer (repeat) for me. When crossed onto 'Radiant Bliss' it gave the same patterns (both.)

Thanks Betty.  Interesting.  So would you now categorize SUMMER R a hot
weather/"summer"/early fall rebloomer, late fall cycle, or slightly
confused CA ever/here winter bloomer?

Maybe I will dig out those seeds from a couple of years ago from this
repeat pink, esp since this year is such a dud. Can't remember what the 
crosses were, but will give them a shot if any of them had rebloom
background.

Will try asking again this winter, see if we get more input.
Linda, I've used 'Summer Radiance' in a lot of crosses and it has
produced many rebloomers, mostly fall bloomers. The honey colored seedling that I posted last summer is from SR and it started rebloom in early July.
For years, I thought it was repeat only. Time has revealed that 
'Summer Radiance' has also bloomed in the fall for many people.
I've not had any luck with other irises that appear to be repeat 
bloomers here.
