For
#RoseWednesday, the story and a picture taken today of
#Peace hybrid tea
#Rose. This rose was bred by Francis Meilland in France between 1935 and 1939. Seeing that France was soon to be occupied and engulfed in WWII, he sent cuttings from this rose to growers in the US, Italy, Germany, and Turkey. His cutting sent to Conard Pyle in the US went out on the last plane available. On April 29, 1945 the rose was introduced by Pyle as "Peace". 🩷
