Rose Bush |
| One
of the most famous rose bushes in the world is the peace rose
bush. The peace rose bush was inducted into the World Federation
of Rose Societies Hall of Fame in 1976, and was the winner of
the AARS award in 1946. First introduced into the United States
over fifty years ago, the peace rose bush is now more famous
than ever. |
One
of the things that makes the peace rose bush so popular is
the beautiful blooms. The flowers of the peace rose bush are
white, and often have a very bright pink outline. Each bloom
contains forty to forty-five petals, and is slightly fragrant.
The peace rose bush is also fairly disease resistant.
The peace
rose bush has large, glossy green foliage. This medium height
rose bush established the hybrid-tea standards in the twentieth
century. Hardy in zones five through nine, this fragrant flower
is very easy to grow. The peace rose bush will grow to an
average height of about three feet, and will flower mostly
on the previous years growth.

| Like
all rose bushes, the peace rose bush prefers partial sun,
with shade from the hot afternoon sun, and a well-drained
soil. Pruning of the peace rose bush should be done in early
spring, just after the buds appear. The peace rose bush works
well in a variety of settings, including as a hedge, or a
focal point in the garden. A peace rose bush will add color
and life to the growing season of a garden for many years.
