Peace

My 'Peace' variegated hybrid tea-rose.

It is a blend of pink, cream and soft yellow.

 

'Peace' is a Meilland rose from France.

The 'Peace' rose (Rosa Madame A. Meilland) is also known as

Rosa Peace - Gioia. 'Peace' roses are renowned for their exquisite beauty and symbolic significance. Introduced in 1945 (though bred before the war - in 1935 - and hidden away from Adolf Hitler during the war years) these hybrid tea roses were named in honour of the end of World War II and have since become iconic symbols of peace and tranquillity.

 

The elegant blooms showcase a harmonious blend of soft pink, cream, and yellow hues. It is said that 'Peace' has a delicate fragrance, but I think the fragrance is very slight, if any.
