September......about the Peace Rose

Thanks for posting that picture of the Peace Rose. That rose is especially special to me. My late aunt that was my favorite aunt always had the Peace Rose in her gardens......they were her favorite roses...... And oh my, that fragrance is just the best......

Just had to let you know.

Isn't it gorgeous? I had kind of disappointing results with it last year, and was going to pull it out, but at this time, mine looks kind of scraggly, but has 5 enormous, beautiful blooms! I think it's going to make it.

Oh I hope it does make it. There is no other fragrance like that rose has.

I could never do anything with roses, and have always envied those that can.....

I think sometimes roses like people (LOL) go through a dormant period. At least I sort of look at it that way.

Re: September......about the Peace Rose

I'm going to try to find a similar Rose tomorrow.......(If I cannot find the 'Peace' locally). We have a very small nursery within walking distance, so I'll try to find a similar yellow. Now I have something to look forward to for tomorrow!

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Re: September......about the Peace Rose

I have a lot of rose bushes, and have totally neglected them all this year! My husband has had a lot of health problems, and surgery last month.

So I had someone else do the pruning...I didn't fertilize them like I usually do. And they look better than ever! Go figure.

Romary, I think if there is a Home Depot near you, they'll have the Peace rose. I got mine there, and I know you can also get it online through Jackson & Perkins.
