Peace Rose
The all time best selling rose in the world is the hybrid tea rose “Peace” bred at the end of World War II, it soon became a world symbol for peace.
This is my all time favorite in our personal garden. What it lacks in fragrance is made up with the beautiful blooms. The blooms are a fantastic creamy yellow with a touch of pink and it produces the most blooms of any of our rose bushes.
Very hardy and a very showy plant, if I can find some more room in our yard I will buy another one of these. They look very nice in a bouquet as well. I liked it so much I planted the Chicago Peace rose as well. The Peace rose has a mild fragrance and is a hybrid tea rose.
