About Peace Potted Rose Bush

Rosa 'Peace'

Peace is the world-renowned hybrid tea rose from Meilland, cherished for its elegant pastel blooms—soft yellow centers edged in pink—that release a gentle, fruity-tea fragrance. Introduced to the U.S. by Conard‑Pyle on April 29, 1945 (the day Berlin fell), Peace quickly became a global symbol of hope and beauty, familiar to gardeners, florists, and public parks alike.
