Cappuccino (Teranishi)
Cappuccino (Teranishi) rose is a chameleon among modern garden roses, brought to life by the skilled Japanese breeder Kikuo Teranishi in 1998. This mesmerizing rose variety changes its color based on the surrounding conditions, such as lighting, temperature, soil composition, and flowering stage. Its fully double flowers boast a serene reddish-brown hue that shifts to yellowish, pinkish-lilac, and rusty tones.
The “Cappuccino” rose displays a fascinating transformation throughout its growth stages. In the bud stage, the flower takes on an ovate shape, which becomes cup-like as it partially opens, revealing beautiful rosette-like petals and prominent stamens. While the flower’s fragrance is mild, its visual spectacle more than compensates for this.
This tea-hybrid rose forms a compact, upright bush with flexible yet somewhat delicate stems. Its modest size makes it suitable for container gardening on terraces and balconies. However, it should be noted that “Cappuccino” is moderately frost-tender and requires periodic chemical treatments and fertilization to maintain its decorative appeal throughout the growing season.
As the name suggests, this rose variety resembles the rich and varied hues of a cappuccino. The calm reddish-brown tones of its fully open blooms and the ever-changing play of colors make the “Cappuccino” rose a unique and intriguing addition to any garden or floral arrangement.
With its fascinating color-changing ability and charming rosette-like form, “Cappuccino” adds an element of surprise and delight to your garden. Whether grown in flowerbeds, mixed borders, or as eye-catching container plants, this remarkable tea-hybrid rose will undoubtedly captivate your senses and leave you with a sense of wonderment at the wonders of nature’s artistry.
