About Cherry Parfait™ Grandiflora Rose
Rosa ‘MEIsponge’ Cherry Parfait™
Cherry Parfait™ is a show-stopping Grandiflora introduced in the U.S. by Star® Roses & Plants and bred by Michèle Meilland Richardier of France. Its creamy white blooms are dramatically edged in cherry red, with the color deepening as each flower matures. Lightly scented and highly floriferous, this rose offers repeat blooms on upright, glossy-leaved shrubs — making it ideal for beds, borders, and floral arrangements.
