Arrived beautifully packaged and is thriving - she has doubled in size and has buds all over ... can't wait to see her bloom!
Updating… still a bit pink but very nice fragrance!
It's the Peace rose everyone knows and loves, but in a presentation that can be even more dramatic than Chicago Peace! Being a sport, Flaming Peace is prone to being variable; the petals range from a deep and dull pink with creamy reverses to rich and vibrant crimson red with pale yellow to red stained reverses. Mine came from another vendor and is budded on multiflora, but is just over a year old now. It will get black spot, no surprise, and the Great Lakes Z5b is a bit too cold for a variety that doesn't love extreme pruning. Fragrance is usually slight, which is exactly as described and typical for this variety, so no one should ding it for lack of fragrance or mention it as a surprise. The real Peace tribe (not roses bred from Peace with names designed to cash in on their illustrious parentage) has never been considered particularly scented. Very unique rose, and very hard to find. Thank you Heirloom for offering it.
Just a month on and one bloom and others on the way. It isn’t red though, it is pink. Also not much fragrance.
