Rosa 'Peace' -

The adoption of the trade name "Peace" was publicly announced in the United States on 29 April 1945 by the introducers, Conard Pyle Co. This was the very day that Berlin fell, a day considered a turning point in the Second World War in Europe. Later that year Peace roses were given to each of the delegations at the inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco, each with a note that read:
"We hope the 'Peace' rose will influence men’s thoughts for everlasting world peace".
Peter Beales, English rose grower and expert, said in his book Roses:
"'Peace', without doubt, is the finest Hybrid Tea ever raised and it will remain a standard variety forever".]

(Wikipedia).

It was raised by French horticulturist Francis Meilland in the years 1935 to 1939, and formally named Rosa 'Madame A. Meilland'.

Rosa multiflora 'Platyphylla', the Seven Sisters' Rose, another rambler.

I always admire your roses Ralph, you have a most wonderful collection

The humid summers here are not very favourable for roses (not to mention some winters) but couldn't abstained and bought a Rosa 'Peace' recently, like you well mention the formerly 'Madame Meilland' cv.

Thanks Gabriela.

Three roses with Rosa persica in their breeding, hence the dark central eye.

The unusual hot spring presented flowers like rarely
in the past years:

So many flowers - a good year for the roses!

[ruweiss]

The hot weather is good for roses, cactii and other succulents but bad to alpines from higher
elevations and more northern places. Hope, that many of them survive in our garden.

Lovely roses everyone.  How hardy do you find the persicas Ralph?

Rosa soulieana from seed

[johnralphcarpenter]

Perfectly hardy here - we had -15C one day this past winter. Winter wet may be more of a problem, we are pretty dry here.

[ashley]

No shortage of winter wet hereabouts so maybe best to try them in pots then bring under cover.

Few pics from Carolside Garden today. There is a National Collection of gallica roses. Sorry I didn’t note the names though.  Great garden, few miles south of Galashiels on A68 and well worth visiting.  It is open Wed, Thur and Fri during July 11am to 5pm.
