'Peace' rose Reviews & Comments

Ross Roses have this rose listed as being "In Collection" (in their complete web variety PDF, page 9) but with no price shown. I assume they would bud it to order if it was made worth their while, as their site says they offer custom budding for any rose not in commerce.

Still maintaining a good form, despite no pruning as such yet, and has grown to around 1.8 metres (5' 3") high and wide in the 15 months since it was planted. A very healthy beastie indeed. I'll give it a light overall trim soon. Maybe. If I get around to it.
A delightfully easy shrub to work with. I just deadheaded the entire bush while wearing rolled-up sleeves and no gloves. You can even deadhead it without secateurs if you want to, since the pedicels are easy to nip off with just your thumbnail and forefinger.
Even without deadheading it will happily continue to throw out flowers, albeit not quite so prolifically.
The same applies to its parent, 'G. Nabonnand', and to the unrelated but equally gorgeous 'Safrano'.

I get the impression you meant to comment, but something went wrong.

Peace and G Nabonnand left to themselves, as in my garden, can become very sprawly.

Yes I have heard they can do that. I'll give them a bit of a trim.

Updated information:
Cracking good shrub. Love it.
Tough as nails, and already setting off to make a good tree.
Lotsa leaves. No disease. Good form.
Summer blooms are, as is common with many, not as good as the autumn and winter ones.
The summer ones are just nice little flowers. The cool weather ones are stunners.
Ok as a cut flower. You can get a few days out of them. It makes plenty anyway.

Mine has just popped out its first flower, and it looks almost identical to Patricia's photo here: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.257137
No trace of the supposed lemon/yellow tones at all. It's basically white, blushed pink.
May look different in summer or with age. Will have to wait and see. Has a lovely scent anyway.
