The normalized Stokes parameters of polarized radiation for ten observed cepheids are shown to occupy on the pxpy-plane rosette-shaped regions having three jets. The interstellar polarization radius vector for cepheids with interstellar polarization derived from observations of neighbourhood stars (Z Lac, VX Per) points close to the base of the "rosette". In the case of absence of interstellar polarization (W Vir, RR Lyr) the base of the "rosette" is located near the zero point.
