About this plant
Rosa 'Love & Peace' is a hybrid tea rose with exceptionally large, double blooms that blend soft yellow centers with pink-tinged edges. These double blossoms, often borne singly on long stems, emit a gentle, fruity fragrance and bloom in repeated flushes from spring through fall. Glossy, dark green foliage frames the flowers, enhancing their appearance and offering a refined presence in garden beds or floral arrangements.
Bred in the United in 1991, this rose received the All-America Rose Selections award in 2002 and the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Known for its elegant color transition, extended bloom season, and resilient nature, 'Love & Peace' brings enduring beauty and fragrance to both landscapes and bouquets.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Long, straight stems make hybrid teas ideal for cutting, so give each plant room and airflow.
Where to see it
