There is also the benefit that growing rose cuttings from this type of rose is also easy.

Although the Peace Rose is only very lightly scented it is still today a great favorite.

Peace produces large dark to pale yellow blooms that have a slight pink edging.  This type of rose has glossy, dark green leaves and is a very vigorous grower.  Its shape is bushy rather than upright.

It is only of average disease resistance and will not grow well in every location.  A member of the hybrid tea rose types the Peace Rose Bush needs plenty of room to grow.  It will grow anywhere from 4 feet tall to 7 feet tall.   The Peace Rose Bush does not require much pruning and should only be very lightly pruned.

Fortunately rose bushes are deep rooted so unless severe drought is expected watering is not an issue. In fact roses hate being overwatered or being planted in wet conditions. Make sure to mulch well every year and give a liquid feed every late June early July.  Naturally all the normal rules for the care of roses apply also.
