Peace Winter Rose
Perhaps the most popular rose of all time, Peace has an incredible history! In 1945, with the surrender of Germany in WWII, delegates of the UN were presented with the Peace rose and a passionate message: "We hope the 'Peace' rose will influence men's thoughts for everlasting world peace." The blooms of yellow, flushed pink on the edges, have a pleasant fragrance. Peace can succeed in a wide range of weather conditions and is quite hardy. This rose is excellent for beds, borders, hedges and for cutting making it a top favourite at Swane's.
