La fleur double classique mais sur un plant robuste! Sa floraison tardive en fait un excellent choix pour prolonger la saison de votre jardin de pivoines. Chiffon Parfait porte de belles fleurs d'un rose saumon très doux. Multiples rangs de pétales portés très serrés donnant la forme d'une boule à la fleur. Très florifère. Chaque tige porte plusieurs bourgeons de fleurs. Plant robuste aux tiges fermes et érigées mais pourrait nécessiter un support en cas de pluie intense. Parfumées. Floraison tardive à très tardive. Plant de 90 cm. Une pivoine de rêve autant pour le jardin que pour la fleur coupée.
Dear
All,
A few years back we purchased a good number of plants
as Chiffon
Parfait. Plants were not too generous, so what we
suspected in the
first growing year turned out to be true the
second... This lot
appears to be 2 different varieties.
From
what we know, and information and pictures in the books and on
the web we cannot decide which one of the two varieties must
be the
true Chiffon Parfait. So I am really hoping some of you
can help.
I posted several pictures in the photos section
of this group, under
the name 'Chiffon Parfait'.
The
lot of plants are for 80% the darker variety, this is the main
reason that we think (and hope) this is the true Chiffon
Parfait.
The other plant, which we tend to believe is the
roage, we have
called Chiffon Parfait X (Roage???) in the
pictures.
Some information from our observations during the
past growing
seasons from the two varieties:
Chiffon
Parfait:
Late flowering, very tall growing (roughly 1.10 m),
fairly
exceptional large and broad leaflets, very strong and
erect stems
(green), open bush habit. Large dark pink flowers
fading to a lighter
shade of pink. More of the 'flat rose
type' double. Flower buds are
characteristic with green outer
petals when still tight.
Chiffon Parfait X
(Roage???):
Flowering even a bit later, medium height. Very
compact bush habit,
dense foliage, many fairly fine leaflets.
Reddish stems. Flower buds
are somewhat cone shaped. Flowers
are of a lighter shade of pink with
some occasional green
flecks in the center. More of the 'ball rose
type' double.
I
would really appreciate any suggestions you might have, it would
be
of great help for us determining which is the true Chiffon
Parfait.
Thanks and regards,
Ruud Warmerdam
I
have a row of Chiffon Parfait (50 plants) but they flowered only
for the first time last season. Thus my experience is only
limited
and I cannot speak about bush habit nor height. I took
a picture of
one of them and when I compare it to your
pictures I think Chiffon
Parfait is indeed the darker one. The
stems of my Chiffon Parfait are
green (not red), the flower is
indeed rather flat and I absolutely
don't recall any of the
flowers ending up so white/blush as your
'rogue' ones. I'll
try uploading my picture of it.
Kind regards,
Koen
Hurtekant
