Article (newsletter)  (2011)  
 
Such successes surely pleased Mouchotte, but he was haunted by a rose that he introduced in 1984 named 'Yves Piaget.' Although he recognized that it was beyond routine classification, in order to get it into commerce and test its marketability, Mouchotte classed 'Yves Piaget' as a Hybrid Tea. It caused an immediate sensation among French gardeners. Mouchotte couldn't drive the image of what he had created out of his mind and believed that Monsieur Piaget might be the first of a new "line" of roses for the mighty Meilland empire to promote....Small wonder the image of 'Yves Piaget' consumed him - this rose knows no shame where showiness is concerned. Not only are blossoms sassy shades of hot-to-mid, mauve-pink, they're ruffled and fragrant as all get-out. They're also huge - easily equaling oversized saucers. Those are merits enough for a successful new rose, but 'Yves Piaget' was yet more. Its plants were exceptionally hardy, robust, notably disease resistant, and smothered in handsome foliage. Mouchotte declared 'Yves Piaget' the first of a new breed of roses to be called "Romantica" and set about hybridizing similar new varieties in an array of colors.

‘Yves Piaget’/Meivildo/’Queen Adélaïde’: Roses anglaises –rose. Hybride moderne. Parents: ((‘Pharao’ x ‘Mme Antoine Meilland’) x (‘Chrysler Impérial’ x ‘Charles Mallerin’)) x ‘Tamango’. Obtenteur: Meilland 1983. Bien qu’on ne le classe pas d’habitude parmi les roses anglaises, il en a tous les atouts. Des pétales nombreux aux bords crénelés font de ses fleurs d’énormes pivoines d’un rose lilas foncé… Son feuillage, luisant et sombre, doit être traîté préventivement contre les maladies fongiques. Cette belle création ne supporte pas les climats les plus rudes et demeure réservée aux régions tempérées de l’Europe… NB: Lorsque ce rosier fut présenté au concours de Genève en 1982, où il obtint les trois principales récompenses, Yves Piaget, le célèbre joaillier suisse, le remarqua et exprima son admiration si vive qu’on décida de lui donner son nom.
