‘Cherry Parfait’ Grandiflora Rose


‘Cherry Parfait’ Grandiflora Rose
2003 All-American Rose Selection Winner


This finishes up my little section on AARS roses. I finally posted a rose that isn’t a Hybrid Tea. ‘Cherry Parfait’ has a mild fragrance and a petal count of about 40. It was bred in France by Meilland Roses and introduced to the US in 2003 by Conrad-Pyle. I haven’t cultivated it myself but there would always be room in my garden for a specimen. I would grow it for the different color shadings alone. My project of trying to photograph all of the All-American Rose Selections has shown me just how sophisticated and cosmopolitan roses have become.
