Celosia argentea cristata Chief Rose – Soft pink bulb bloom with strong summer performance

With its refined pink hue and powerful flower structure, Chief Rose combines a romantic appearance with robust production quality – ideal for summer borders and high-quality cut flowers.

Large, uniform, spherical flower heads

What makes Celosia argentea cristata Chief Rose special are its large, rounded flower heads with a compact and even structure. Instead of the classic pleated cockscomb shape, this variety develops a more globe-shaped inflorescence, creating a modern, powerful look.

The soft pink color adds a subtle, elegant touch to summer plantings and bouquets. This shade combines beautifully with white, purple, or deep red flowers and fits perfectly in romantic or pastel garden designs.

The sturdy flower structure also makes Chief Rose very suitable for cut flower applications and dried flower arrangements.

Excellent performance at high temperatures

The Chief series was developed for optimal production in warm climates. Celosia argentea cristata Chief Rose maintains its vigor, uniformity, and flower quality during periods of heat, when other crops sometimes experience a decline.

This makes the variety particularly suitable for summer cultivation in regions with high temperatures or for production in warm greenhouse conditions. The plant continues to flower reliably and delivers consistent quality throughout the season.

Very uniform growth for efficient production

Uniformity is one of Chief Rose's greatest advantages. The plants grow evenly in height and flowering time, resulting in a homogeneous crop. This simplifies harvest planning and ensures efficient processing and sorting.

Celosia argentea cristata Chief Rose is suitable for:

• Plug cultivation (tray production)

• Direct sowing in open ground

• Professional cut flower production

• Summer bed and border planting

The combination of uniform growth and large flower heads makes this variety attractive to both commercial growers and landscape plantings.

High-quality cut flower for summer production

Chief Rose is ideal as a cut flower during warm periods. The plant produces sturdy, straight stems with compact, spherical flower heads of high quality. When planted close together, it develops extra strong stems, resulting in premium cut flowers.

The soft pink hue gives bouquets a fresh, refined look. Thanks to their excellent vase life, the flowers remain beautiful for a long time. Chief Rose also offers excellent possibilities for dried flower arrangements, where color and shape are largely retained.

For cut flower growers, this variety is a reliable choice for stable summer production with high market value.

Strong stems due to optimal planting density

Dense planting encourages the development of long, sturdy stems. This increases the quality of the cut flowers and contributes to a uniform batch composition. The strong stem structure prevents buckling and improves transportability.

In garden plantings, the spherical flower heads provide structure and height in borders. The soft pink hue brings balance and elegance to colorful summer compositions.

Care and cultivation advice

For optimal results:

• Location in full sun

• Well-drained, nutritious soil

• Regular watering without waterlogging

• Fertilize during active growth for maximum flower size

Chief Rose develops quickly and blooms profusely throughout the summer. Thanks to its heat tolerance, the flower quality remains high, even during warm periods.
