Cepheus Rose
Cepheus, a shrub rose introduced by Meilland in 2012, is a pink cut-flower variety with strong fragrance and a remarkable bloom size of 12 cm or larger. Its serrated petals create a lush and full appearance, transitioning from soft pink on the outer petals to a deeper pink in the center.
This rose is often compared to the Yves Piaget series from Japan. The Yves Piaget series originally derives from Meilland’s Countess Yves Piaget, and many believe Cepheus shares a close lineage with this iconic variety. As a result, Cepheus is sometimes affectionately referred to as the “Yves Cepheus” by rose enthusiasts.
Key Features:
• Color Variability: Generally leans towards red but shifts to pink in hotter temperatures.
• Growth: Vigorous, sun-tolerant, and rain-resistant, making it nearly flawless in resilience.
Why Choose Cepheus:
For those who love the Yves Piaget series but are wary of its shortcomings, Cepheus offers a fantastic alternative with improved durability and adaptability. Its stunning, richly-scented blooms and robust growth habit make it an exceptional addition to any garden or floral arrangement.
