Chicago Peace bloom

@Nonametoday   The Peace rose is my all time favorite rose so fragrant. I also love the Mr. Lincoln red rose for it's beautiful fragrance. I wish that I could grow tea roses like these.

This is Chicago Peace.  Peace is a little bit lighter in full bloom.  When Chicago Peace opens, it is a much darker rose than depicted but this is in full bloom. When Peace is in full bloom, it is much lighter.  Both hybridized from the same seeds.  A sport is a rose that comes off another rose on one of its branches but happens to be a little or more different.  If that rose "solidifies" and remains like that and the whole branch stays like the rose different from the parent, then it can be rooted and sold under a different name by a hybridizer and given a patent.  There are definitely more roses that came off Peace, the favorite from WWII and the all-time favorite of hybrid tea roses.  The all-time favorite in climbers/ramblers was Dr. Van Fleet, the father, until  his daughter was born on one of his branches.  That is New Dawn.  New Dawn will rebloom but daddy Dr. Van Fleet is a rambler which blooms but once and it is a real bloomer too.  Now, I am through with my rose lessons and it hurts me to say I lost almost 500 roses due to a virus that was made in Iowa to kill rose multiflora which was so rampant in Iowa that it killed the corn crops.  Unfortunately, that virus grew throughout the country and blew from one garden to the other, killing thousands of beautiful roses.

Environmental stress (like crazy Texas weather), inconsistent fertilizing, or even pruning habits can impact color variety.

Might be worth checking if it’s reverted or if it just needs a bit of TLC to bring the color show back

Peace rose, not as much depth in the shading as Chicago peace, much lighter and white brighter.

Where I live we have tornado warnings at least weekly.  I am very accustomed to the sirens because they are in the elementary school near my home.  The only time we did not have one was the day the tornado took out half my neighbors' homes.  We missed it.  We heard it but there was no siren.  The Weather Bureau had not issued one so the sirens did not sound in our area, but the tornado came right up the river and into our neighborhood. We live on one of the tributaries from the river, a creekside home.

It hasn't lost its graft.   That is exactly what every Joseph Coat looks like in every garden I have ever appraised or every nursery I have ever seen them in bloom.  If it lost its graft it would be rose multiflora, white; Dr. Huey, red; rose Fortuniana white or yellow.  Fortuniana is what Lady Banks is except she is thornless and regular Fortuniana has thorns.

The severe weather had been on local news and the weather channel for days for Texas.

Why anyone would head out during the peak storm activity, especially with hail and possible tornadic activity,unless for an emergency. 🤔

Where I live, that St Joseph Coat would never look like a climbing peace rose and it would be dark as it opened because of the intense heat.  Many people in cooler cliimates share some of the roses I have and theirs will be a shade lighter or darker than mine because of our heat.  White roses yellow here very quickly whereby pink ones turn white almost instantly and I expect  her rose that she desires is very much the color of all the ones I have seen in Georgia, California, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas and Alabama. Farther up north it might be a lighter pink instead of a pink grapefruit orange but the intensity of heat in the south and southwest is going to turn them their natural coloration.

@monicakm So glad you are safe, and that you are safe. That is one thing that scares the ****** out of me when we are out in the motorhome with the cats, I know how frightening it is in a motorhome and where can we run to with a dozen cats. . .whatever the name, the roses are lovely, what a special guy you have!

I live in Lindale and there was a tornado that touched down on the west side of town.

As a child, I grew up in Dallas. I will never forget in 1957, there was a large tornado at the intersection of Illinois Ave and Hampton Road and though we were blocks away, we could see the debree flying and swirling in the sky. Scarry stuff!

Our local weather showed that severe weather in the Tyler area and I thought about you.  Glad to hear you're okay and the doggies.
