Pink Tafetta  but not sure ?

I bought this as a dry bare root rhizome labeled as Pink Tafetta at Reno Depot.  It's large blooms and robust growing habits have earned it a permanant place in my garden.  I keep hearing about how tough pinks are to grow in this zone 4b climate but I don't appear to have any difficulty.  Pink was a color I though I'd never like in an iris, but when I saw BEVERLY SILLS, I was blown away.  This iris is large, vigorous and very tall with good branching.  I couldn't pass up the opportunity to cross it with  pollen from HONEY SCOOP.  Any Ideas ?
