In April 1945, the Conard-Pyle Company introduced this rose in America under the appropriate name of Peace, coincidentally on the very same day that Berlin fell, and the war was pronounced over. The ceremony took place at the first annual rose show of the Pacific Rose Society at Pasadena, California. Two white doves were released into the heavens, in honor of the new rose symbolizing peace. The Peace rose was awarded the All-America Rose Selections (AARS) Award for 1946, the only rose to receive the honor for that year. And since then, Peace has won numerous other rose awards. This specimen is in a bouquet along with some of the other roses from our 2011 garden. It makes a delightful desktop background. Hope you enjoy!

Fine capture of this beautiful and timeless rose. She almost did not ever come to be due to the terrible times, her full story is most interesting.
