The Peace rose (Rosa 'Madame A. Meilland') is classified as a hybrid tea rose. Hybrid tea roses are popular modern roses known for their large, high-centred blooms and long, straight stems. They are often used for cutting and as a focal point in garden beds due to their showy vigorous flowers and elegant pinkish-yellow appearance. The Peace rose was first introduced in 1945 by Francis Meilland and quickly became a favourite among gardeners for its unique colouration and hardy, disease-resistant nature. They are now considered famous roses and are widely produced in gardens around the world.
Yes, Peace roses are known for their sweet and spicy light fragrance. The scent of the Peace rose is often described as a classic rose fragrance with a note of fruit, spice, and cloves. The intensity of the fragrance can vary depending on the weather conditions and time of day, with the scent being most potent on warm, sunny spring days.
A climbing Peace rose is a climbing form of the popular hybrid tea rose. Climbing rose varieties produce long, flexible canes that can be trained to grow up trellises, walls, fences, or other supports.
The climbing Peace rose has the same large, high-centred blooms and sweet fragrance as the standard Peace potted roses but with longer, more flexible canes that allow it to be trained to grow vertically. It can be grown as a single stem or branch out into a more bushy form. Climbing Peace roses have an enhanced growth habit, can reach heights of up to 10-12 feet and can be pruned to maintain a manageable size.
Known for its versatility, the Peace rose adapts well to various climates and can be grown in garden beds or containers, offering flexibility in landscaping. With relatively low maintenance requirements, a Peace rose bush provides a rewarding gardening experience, as it blooms consistently throughout the season. Additionally, cultivating this historic rose allows for a wholesome connection with the past.
