Today is April 29 which allows us to celebrate National Peace Rose Day #NationalPeaceRoseDay for more information on the Peace Rose check out this post. To celebrate the Peace Rose Charlie and I will be visiting a Nursery to purchase a couple Rose Bushes to plant out front of our Townhome and also in my Grandmother’s yard. Would you like to go with us to the Nursery and we can plant Roses in your yard as well?
The Peace rose, formally Rosa ‘Madame A. Meilland’, is a well-known and successful garden rose. By 1992, over one hundred million plants of this hybrid tea had been sold. The cultivar has large flowers of a light yellow to cream color, slightly flushed at the petal edges with crimson-pink. It is hardy and vigorous and relatively resistant to disease, making it popular in gardens as well as in the floral trade.
It was developed by French horticulturist Francis Meilland, in the years 1935 to 1939. When Meilland foresaw the German invasion of France, he sent cuttings to friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany, and the United States to protect the new rose. It is said that it was sent to the US on the last plane available before the German invasion, where it was safely propagated by the Conard Pyle Co. during the war.[1]
