Rose Type: Hybrid Tea
Peace is one of the most celebrated roses ever introduced, admired for its enormous, elegantly shaped blooms and remarkable blend of soft yellow petals brushed with rosy pink edges. The very large, 6-inch flowers contain 40–45 petals and open slowly from beautifully formed buds into full, luminous blossoms. Its distinctive color pattern changes with temperature and light, often becoming even more vibrant during periods of moderate weather.
Beyond its legendary beauty, Peace remains a dependable garden performer. The lightly fruity, tea-like fragrance adds a pleasant touch to the large flowers carried on strong stems that are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors. The vigorous, bushy plant is covered in large, glossy green foliage and continues to bloom throughout the growing season. Good disease resistance, combined with tolerance for both heat and coastal conditions, has helped make Peace one of the most widely grown and recognized roses in the world.
