“THEY SAY” 
16 Experts Report on Peace 
SIMPLY CRAZY 
‘“Now happy to report that the first bloom of Peace is over and 
I am simply crazy about the Rose. The canes carry the large 
bloom in a regal manner. I am recommending it highly to every- 
one that visits it in my garden.’—DR. A. A. PLAGMAN, Tri- 
state Rose Society, Davenport, Iowa, August 11, 1945. 
LIKE A SONG 
‘“‘Anyone who could resist the appeal of the new Rose ‘Peace’ 
would be hard to please indeed. Describing it is like trying to 
describe a song—you simply have to experience it for yourself .’’— 
CATHERINE E. MEIKLE, Breeze Hill Gardens, Harrisburg, 
Pa., June 1, 1945. 
HOLDS GOOD A WEEK 
‘““Happy to report on the lovely new Rose named Peace. The 
full-blown Rose seen with early morning dew still upon its rosy- 
tinted petals is positively breathtaking. It will hold its good ap- 
pearance for a full week when cut.”—-MRS. EDNA H. THOMAS, 
Garden Club Rosarian, Chattanooga, Tenn., Spring 1945.

I LOVE IT 
‘‘Ring the bell on this one. 75 petals. Grand stems. Don’t 
need to disbud this Rose. I LOVE IT.”—EARL BENBOW, then 
Sec’y, Seattle Rose Society, Seattle, Wash., Fall 1943. 
UNUSUALLY STURDY 
“‘As you enter the Rose garden, it acted just like a stop light. 
People came, and stopped abruptly to ‘Ah and Oh.’ You might 
expect weak necks with such heavy blooms but the stem is un- 
usually sturdy.”—A. H. MacANDREWS, Men’s Garden Club 
Rosarian, Syracuse, N. Y., September 12, 1944. 
CREATION OF AN ARTIST 
“T have never seen a Rose so intriguing, so arresting in color 
and form as this. It is the creation of an artist in hybridizing. 
When first seen, it is incredible.’-—MRS. FRANCIS KING, 
South Hartford, N. Y., July 24, 1944.

Here is Mrs. Merrill A. Newman, President of San 
Francisco Rose Society and Garden Editor of San Mateo 
Times, cutting blooms of Peace, December 25, 1945, 
from a bush planted January 15, 1945. This is double the 
height of Peace that may be expected in other climates.

*PEACE (Mme. A. Meilland.) H.T. (See front 
sARS cover.) Plant Pat. 591. Peace is not a colorless 
% Rose of dead white, but it is vivid with the 
colors of the dawn as of a new era. It is rich and vital. 
The buds are golden yellow, each petal edged with 
pink that seems to deepen as the flower slowly opens. 
The shades of color vary but are always beautiful, 
and the change is an enchanting thing to watch as the 
buds open and the gold changes to Ivory or alabaster- 
white while the pink blush spreads and deepens along 
the edge of every petal. 
Peace has a sort of shimmering iridescence. Though 
the very double bloom is unusually large, long-lasting 
and constantly fresh-looking, its effect is always that 
of delicate and almost ethereal loveliness. 
There is nothing delicate-looking about the plant, 
however. It is the crowning miracle of the Peace Rose 
that the whole plant is as superior as the bloom. The 
strong, straight stems lift the flowers proudly above 
the mass of vigorous, shining, disease-resistant foliage. 
In glorious succession, the high-centered blooms hold 
their form and freshness an unbelievable time, either 
as a cut-flower or on the bush, and at times the fra- 
grance Is strong and luscious.
