Beautiful Rosa Peace Flower
Rosa 'Peace' – The Iconic Emblem of Beauty and Hope
Rosa 'Peace' is one of the most celebrated and iconic hybrid tea roses in the world, cherished not only for its breathtaking beauty but also for the profound symbolism it carries. A timeless favorite among gardeners, floral enthusiasts, and historians alike, the ‘Peace’ rose boasts a rich history intertwined with the global events of the 20th century. With its large, creamy-yellow blooms edged in soft pink and its impressive vigor, this rose is as much a horticultural marvel as it is a poignant emblem of peace and resilience.
Origins and Historical Significance
The story of Rosa 'Peace' begins in France during the 1930s. It was developed by renowned French rose breeder Francis Meilland, who named it originally as 'Madame A. Meilland' in honor of his mother. As tensions in Europe escalated toward World War II, Meilland recognized the potential of this rose and sent cuttings to friends and partners in Italy, Germany, and the United States to ensure the variety’s survival.
When the rose reached the United States, it was cultivated and evaluated by the American Rose Society. On April 29, 1945 — coinciding with the fall of Berlin and just before the official end of World War II in Europe — the rose was introduced in America under the name ‘Peace’, symbolizing hope for a new, peaceful era. On the same day, delegates at the inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco each received a bloom of the ‘Peace’ rose, reinforcing its powerful message of unity and optimism.
Description and Characteristics
Flower Form and Color:Rosa 'Peace' is most noted for its spectacular blooms. The flowers are large, typically 5 to 6 inches in diameter, and boast a classic hybrid tea form with high-centered buds that open into lush, full blossoms. The base color is a creamy yellow or pale lemon, delicately edged with pink that can become more pronounced in cooler weather. This color contrast gives the rose a glowing, ethereal quality.
