Description
This is one of my favorite roses. I just love the different hues in the petals. It has a sweet soft fragrance. It is a very Elegante looking rose.When fully opened in is a very large rose. Exquisite, stunning, and elegantly hued, the 'Peace rose' was developed and introduced by the horticulturist, Francis Meilland, from France, between the years of 1935 and 1939.
Meilland protected his beautiful hybridization by sending them to friends in several countries during the Germany invasion. The plants were held onto and preserved to be released when the war came to a close to inspire peace meaning throughout the world.Although Meilland desired to name the flower after Second World War strategist, Viscount Alanbrooke, the offer was declined, recommending that the rose carry on the name, 'Peace' to preserve its original meaning and purpose.
On the day marking the end of World War II in Europe, the 'Peace' rose was officially given its name and later presented to all of the delegations during a United Nations inaugural meetings.Like other hybrid teas, peace roses maintain hardiness and their natural resistance to the diseases that normally plague roses, including black spot and mildew. The plant itself can grow to heights of five or six feet, with some reaching ten feet tall, with dark leafy foliage that compliments the bright, colorful blossoms.
The peace rose bush blossoms itself, which can exhibit as many as fifty petals on one blossom, starts lighter in the middle, deepening and darkening toward the outer parts of the petals.
Most of these hybrid tea sculpted blossoms start unfurling with light creams or lemony yellows on the inside, merging and darkening toward the edges of the petals to bright, rosy, or hot pinks. Others vary slightly in color, but resemble the traditional peace rose colors, creating awe-striking beauty for a tranquil and peaceful aura.The fragrance that the flower emits is light and breezy scent, creating an even more passive, calm and serene presence wherever it is planted.Known around the world for the representation that it inspires, the 'Peace' rose and its deep connotation and significance will most likely be passed on for many generations to come.
