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

Peace is one of my favorites. There was one planted by my front door when I bought the place. Some years it has suffered terrible abuse but it just goes on and on. If well cared for, it rewards with a wonderfully fragrant display. It's blooming now.

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

Nice to hear that I'm not the only one enjoying the Peace rose.

I have other rose bushes, that have tons of smaller blossoms. My Peace bush only has 5 at this time, but they're huge!

My mother loved the Peace Rose. It is so beautiful. I always connect my memory of her to that rose. She also ordered hers from Jackson and Perkins.

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.

It seems the more I "neglect" my roses, the better they do, too! {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

I only water/fertilize them when we are having a drought or long heat spells. No drought this year, we got 70" of snow, and the rain/showers have been steady for the past month.
