I wanted this rose so bad I had to buy it twice. The first time the main stem snapped off as I planted shortly before we had tornado weather. This second time it’s been growing quite while and I got my first bloom. I was nervous at first as I wanted that vibrant pink and yellow instead of the pale and in its first stages it was very pale but it’s just been getting darker and more vibrant. I’m excited to see the variety in the blooms
This is her second year & my favorite for both looks and fragrance! I was awestruck when I saw her first bloom. It was iridescent & gorgeous! Large blooms that just shine. The leaves are dark & glossy and the plant is strong. Zone 8b in Salem, OR had a very wet spring & some of my roses have struggled with black spot. Love & Peace had some, but not much. She is a very healthy rose & I look forward beautiful perfection in her repeat bloomings.
