“Coffret Rose” (French for “Rose Box”) primarily refers to two distinct items: a highly regarded Japanese, lilac-purple shrub rose and, in a consumer context, a luxury, stabilized rose gift set.
Here is a breakdown of the information in English:
1. The ‘Coffret’ Rose (Plant/Flower)
- Origin: Bred by Makiko Kawamoto in Japan (introduced around 2019–2020).
- Appearance: Known for its unique color combination, featuring lilac-purple inner petals and green to grey-green outer petals.
- Form: A medium-sized, cup-shaped, double-petaled bloom (26-40 petals) that grows in small clusters.
- Fragrance: Strong tea fragrance.
- Growing Characteristics: It is a shrub rose, with a height of 4’11” to 5¼’ (150-160cm). It is highly prized for its good disease resistance, long-lasting blooms (vase-life), and ability to thrive in hot climates.
- Name Origin: The name comes from the French, referring to a small box for storing gems, fitting its antique,, jewel-like appearance.
2. Coffret Rose (Gift Sets & Luxury Items)
- Stabilized/Eternity Rose: Many luxury florists (like Lachaume Paris) offer a “Coffret Éternel,” which is a single or multiple real, natural roses preserved in a stylish box to last for over a year.
- Fragrance Gift Sets: Brands like Côte Noire offer “Le Coffret Rose,” which usually includes a faux (artificial) rose in a glass vase, accompanied by scented sticks, perfume spray, and scented candles.
