Hybrid Tea
Probably the most popular and widely grown rose ever bred.
This derivative of Peace had great aspirations to match the fame of its parent. It never quite made it that far, but it's certainly a splendid pink rose. The rounded vigorous bush produces large shapely lustrous clear pink flowers with a sweet fragrance and deep green foliage.
Even non-rosarians know Peace by its huge opulent blossoms, its delicious blend of colors, its very large glossy green foliage, and its easy-to-grow plant. Best color & performance east of the Rockies. Performance improves with warmer temperatures.
