In celebration of Honkai: Star Rail‘s newest 5-star character — Argenti the chivalrous Knight of Beauty — developer miHoYo (Hoyoverse) announced its collaboration with Beijing Academy of Forestry and Landscape Architecture on a special project to create a new variant of the red rose flower named the “Argenti” rose.
As the name suggests, this project is inspired by Argenti’s character theme which describes the significance of the rose in his character introduction: “My name is Argenti, I belong to the Knights of Beauty, and I offer this rose to convey my heartfelt salutations.”
The debut of the Honkai: Star Rail “Argenti” rose will be at an offline pop-up event at Shanghai Station, China on December 8-12, 2023. A limited floral showcasing at Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Xiamen stations will also happen on the same weekend. Meanwhile, large-scale cultivation will also be prepared at the Yunnan Flower Planting base so the roses can bloom in time to enter the market by Spring 2024. As of writing, there are no further details about the Argenti rose variety.

Moreover, Honkai: Star Rail is also in collaboration with Japanese flower shop Karendo to celebrate the release of Argenti’s banner with some rose-inspired merchandise. This includes a special fresh or soap rose, a Preserved Red Rose “Petit Maison,” and some special rose-shaped chocolates. The event’s period is from December 7-20, 2023 in Japan.
