What to know about Pink Peace before choosing it for the garden:
Where to plant. As a solo specimen or in a group of Hybrid Teas for a flower bed or for cutting — a tall upright bush and solitary large flowers hold up on their own stems; no support needed.
Climate. Winter hardiness USDA 6b–7b, RHS H6 (≈ −15…−20 °C); in Ukraine it needs cover for winter.
Care. Full sun for a stable, saturated colour; prevention of the diseases typical of Hybrid Teas (blackspot, rust, powdery mildew).
Name. "Rozhevyi Peace" ("Pink Peace") — a deep pink relative of the legendary rose Peace, but a separate variety: Peace is only among its ancestors; it is not a mutation (sport) of Peace.
Breeding. Francis Meilland (France), 1959, code MEIbil; parents — (Peace × Monique) × (Peace × Mrs. John Laing).
