Rose 'Peace'

Peace likes a position of partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Peace is thought of as hardy, so this plant will grow or become dormant during the winter. Planting Peace in loamy soil with a ph of between 4.5 and 8.0 is ideal for as it does best in moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

As a hybrid variety, this plant will not reliably grow true to type from seed.

As Peace is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
