Description
This Peace Rose blossom is from a rose plant that I planted in remembrance of my father. Every time it blooms it makes me smile and brings back many fond and wonderful memories of my father and the good times we had together.
Exquisite, stunning, and elegantly hued, the 'Peace rose' was developed and introduced by the horticulturist, Francis Meilland, from France, between the years of 1935 and 1939.
Meilland protected his beautiful hybridization by sending them to friends in several countries during the Germany invasion. The plants were held onto and preserved to be released when the war came to a close to inspire peace meaning throughout the world.
