THIS ROSE DOES AMAZING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, AND UNDER TREE'S AS WELL. I HAVE 3, ONE UNDER A LILAC , ONE UNDER A MAPLE AND ONE IN FULL SUN. ALL 3 ARE EQUALLY HUGE. MY ONE UNDER THE LILAC IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND CLIMBS ABOUT 14 FEET INTO THE TREE, THIS ROSE COULD BE CLASSIFED AS A SHRUB OR A CLIMBER, CAUSE ITS GROWTH IS SO PROLIFIC, AND THE BLOOMS ARE SO AMAZING, AND THEY COME IN CLUSTERS THAT CAN NOT BE NUMBERED. ALAS, NO FRAGRANCE. BUT THE FOLAIGE AND THE BLOOMS MAKE UP FOR IT. A GREAT DISEASE FREE ROSE. OH, RAIN DOES CAUSE SPOTTING ON THE FLOWERS THOUGH.

HERE'S A GOOD TIP. I HAVE 2 OF THESE ROSES, ONE IN FULL SUN, ONE IN FILTERED SHADE. BOTH GROW WELL, BUT THE ONE IN THE SHADIER SPOT HAS BETTER COLORED FLOWERS. THE ONE IN THE FULL SUN BLEACHES OUT TO PINKISH BLAH AFTER ONE DAY, THE SHADED ONES HAVE NICE CREAMY COFFEE COLORED FLOWERS AND BROWN BUDS. SOUNDS WEIRD, BUT BESIDES ORANGES N' LEMONS, I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER ROSE THAT GETS MORE ATTENTION FROM VISITORS. |

Agreed. I have mine in a spot that gets dappled shade till about noon, and the rose color I think is much better as a result. This rose also has, or can have, a really unusual melon fragrance, in my experience anyway. Brand-new plant and still small, but really worth the effort so far.

How is this rose for winter hardiness a disease resistance. Rumor mill has it that it is quite winter tender and a blackspot magnet. Is this true for anyone here??

OUR AREA HERE IN OREGON GETS ONLY TO ABOUT 20 DEGREES AT THE COLDEST SO WE ACTUALLY PULL THE LEAVES OFF IN THE MID-WINTER, JUST TO MAKE SURE THE ROSE GETS SOME REST. (MY GRANDMA TAUGHT ME THIS, I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE DOES THIS, BUT SOMETIMES THE ROSES KEEP GROWING ALL YEAR AND DONT GO INTO DORMANCY IN PORTLAND WITHOUT THIS) SO I THINK IT IS PRETTY HARDY, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE BIT OF DISEASE ON MY ROSES, NO MILDEW, NO RUST, NO BLACKSPOT. IF YOU READ MY POST ABOVE YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE ACTUALLY GROWING UNDER A TREE AND STILL DO THIS WELL SO I WOULD SAY THEY ARE GREAT AS FAR AS DISEASE RESISTANCE. |

To Mattpdx: Just got my first NZ - thanks to your postings really. I was especially taken by the fact that some of your NZs were under a tree and still did well. I have a similar situation, where my small garden gets only 4 hours of sun per day. All my roses do well, but advice like yours is invaluable for me, when choosing a rose for my conditions here. Thank you!

Use the ROSE SEARCH button on the navigation bar to the left and enter the rose name in the search window. Click on the link for 'New Zealand' and when the rose page comes up, click on the BUY FROM tab and scroll down. We have a long list of nurseries that have indicated that they carry this rose in their inventory.
Smiles,
Lyn

SO I GOT THE 3 PEACE ROSES , PEACE, PINK PEACE , AND A CHICAGO PEACE THIS LAST SPRING AND EITHER GOT SOME REALLY WEIRD SOIL OR SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG. THE PEACE COMES OUT A CHROME YELLOW AND STAYS THAT WAY, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SOLID YELLOW PEACE ROSE, AND THE PINK PEACE AND THE CHICAGO PEACE ARE IDENTICAL EXCEPT FOR HEIGTH OF BUSH. CAN SOMEONE JUST CONCURE WITH ME THAT I GOT SOME MISLABELED PLANTS.

Well from the descriptions that you gave, yes you received mis labelled roses. Did you purchase them from a reliable grower? typically they will replace them if you send pics to verify they are mislabelled. But if you bought them from a "box Store" i.e. HD or Walmart etc etc. Well you either keep them and love them for what they are or sp. them and donate the to someone who does not care what there names are. Good Luck! |

I agree with Amy. I've never seen a Peace that color yellow or lacking a pink edge.

Peace is derived from R. Foetida, which is very variable depending upon temperature, light intensity and length and nutrients. Luckily, the foliage is very distinctive and characteristic, particularly Peace's itself. Solid yellow, in fact, nearly white, flowers are possible with cooler weather and bright light. I've seen them anywhere from bright, unshaded yellow, to nearly pure white. It makes sense. When you grow other yellow roses closely related to Foetida, you'll experience the pure yellow to varying degrees. Souv. de Claudius Pernet, one of the most famous early Pernetianas, from which very many modern yellow roses are bred, was notorious for white blooms early in the year before the hotter temperatures and longer, more intense light levels arrived. If the foliage on your Peace is appropriate for the variety, it IS possible you may have a sport. Peace has done everything from extreme color changes to climbing versions which either bloom only in the spring to repeat blooming versions. There was even a miniature sport of Peace in the early 1960s. I believe checking the foliage against another Peace which you know is correct is the initial course of action. If the leaves are right, there is more going on there than a simple tag mix up. Kim
