'Pink Peace' rose Reviews & Comments

I've grown a LOT of pinks through the years, and I think this is probably the best IMO. It has great coloring, it's not too difficult to grow, it has a great fragrance, and the flowers last a long time. I'd say Miss All American Beauty would be #2 for me, though she can be a stingy bloomer. A lot of people would say Tiffany is the best, but I think she opens too quickly. Belinda's Dream is easy to grow, but I find her a bit dull. Signature has my favorite flower, but she's always been very fussy for me to grow. Essentially, Pink Peace is a colorful, rewarding rose to grow that has some personality.

Updated information:
Ok, it's a Hybrid Tea. Will defoliate at times, which I really do not like.
However, bush form is decent without much work, and it's not toooooo spikey.
Really hot weather hammers the flowers a bit. To be honest there would be a good argument for disbudding it over summer.
Speaking of which, this one will hold onto dead flowers forever. If you gave them half a chance I'm sure they would outlast King Tut's mummy. Basically, every bloom this bush ever produces will need to be deadheaded.
The good news is that in every season apart from summer the blooms are literally awesome.
