Peace. Patented. So many superlatives are appearing in so many catalogues 
about this master rose, we feel our humble ditto can be omitted here. But we believe 
you will all enjoy the reproduction below of a page from.the American Rose Society’s 
“Proof of the Pudding,” in which PEACE is rated by the Society’s members from 
coast to Coast. 2.50 






THE 1946 PROOF OF THE PUDDING 227 
Peace. HT. Lemon-yellow, rose edge. (I*. Meilland; int. U.S., C-P ’45) Pat. 
591. ARA ’45. 
I. Burt, Mass.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) A real find. Wonderful creamy yellow with pink 
tints; unusually fine foliage; vigorous. — A. Foote, Mass.: Impossible to praise 
this rose too highly; cut roses the last of October; a profuse bloomer; beautiful 
beyond description. Prester, Conn.: (5 pls., 3 yrs.; 30 pls., 1 yr.) Entraneing 
coler: pale yellow washed at edge with pink; variable; very large-cupped bloom 
on strong stem; hardy, rugged. —A. Sweetser, Mass.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) All the praise 
given to it is due. —A. II. Brooklyn Botanic Garden, N.Y.: (9 pls., 1 yr.) 
Growth sturdy; foliage excellent; bloomed freely; lost pink tint on petals with 
intense heat of summer. —A. Gohl, N.Y.: (6 pls., 1 yr.) Plant characteristics 
appear quite similar to Condesa de Sdstago; flowers observed in late July were 
large firm-petalled and clear-colored. One fault, like Sastago: it has too short 
stems and by late August, plants badly mildewed. —B. MacAndrews, N.Y.: 
(2 pls., 2 yrs.; 1 pl., 1 yr.) This is a super rose on a super bush; canes like fishing 
poles; huge, globular yellow buds open into blooms that flush pink and age very 
slowly and attractively. —AA. III. Cobb, Pa.: (4 pls., 2 yrs.) One of the finest 
of roses. —-B. Forrest, Pa.: (12 pls., 2 yrs.) This variety is a triumph in rose hy- 
bridizing. —A. Glaes, Pa.: (2 pls., 1 yr.) This really is something! The enormous 
blooms came on a 4-foot plant, the color transition is exquisite. —A. Snyder, 
Pa.: (6 pls., 3 yrs.; 21 pls., 1 yr.) Outstanding in every way except that it black- 
spots. —A. IV. Tayloe, Va.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) The early spring blooms were un- 
usually fine; excellent form and color and dark rich foliage! It has had some 
blackspot. —B. Taylor, Md.: (2 pls., 1 yr.) Wonderful in every way; unusual 
coloring: yellow overlaid with pink. —A. V. Huettel, Tenn.: (4 pls., 1 yr.) 
Spring blooms are good but no exhibition bloom: white with a pink edge. —C. 
VII. Campbell, Ohio: (1 pl., 1 yr.) It looks like the catalog descriptions. In 
‘loom from the first of May. Every rose a picture. Kern, Ohio: (6 pls., 1 and 
2 yrs.) This rose should be in everyone’s garden. It has all the qualifications a 
rose should have. No. 1 rose in my garden this year. —A. VIII. Pfister, Ill.: 
(2 pls., 1 and 2 yrs.) This is the rose of the decade in our estimation. —A. X. 
Volz, Ia.: (3 pls., 2 yrs.) Large glossy leaves on medium-sized, vigorous plant; 
well-formed bloom of good color. —B. Wilcoz, Minn.: (2 pls., 1 yr.) This looks 
like a comer. Some do not like the form of blossom but Ido. —A. XII. Horsley, 
Wyo.: (25 pls., 1 yr.) An extraordinary rose destined to be planted universally. 
Big, stately buds unfurl with ever-changing hues much like a colorful sunrise. 
The open flowers present a pleasing blend of whitish-orchid with shimmering 
iridescence that is truly heavenly. I’m especially fond of it since I helped Jinx 
christen it at the Pasadena Show. —A. XIII. Fratus, Cal.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) Sturdy 
plant to 4 feet high in first season; disease resistant; abundant bloom; sweet fra- 
grance; its color transition is outstanding. —A. Horn, Cal.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) The 
plant I received didn’t produce blooms like those I admired at Mr. Stocking’s 
place last fall. The blooms were small and thin. McDonough, Cal.: (4 pls., 
1 yr.) The winner of them all. Beautiful in all stages of bloom from bud to wide 
open; disease proof foliage. A coming champion in the shows if I know my 
roses. —A. Newman, Cal.: (1 pl., 1 yr.) A wonderful rose in every way. Good 
growth; no rust; no mildew; plenty of blooms of excellent color in spring and 
fall. —A. XIV. Alling, Ore,: (1 pl., 4 yr.) Large, medium yellow to almost 
cream in hot weather; suffused pink to lavender at edges; fragrance variable but 
stronger after cutting; show type but late bloomer here; dense, large, almost 
glaucous green foliage; slight mildew; rather shy bloomer so far but planted too 
late for this country. A ‘“‘must’’ for every man’s garden. —A. Edmunds, Ore.: 
(4 pls., 3 yrs.; 40 pls., 1 yr.) A transformation rose which is living up to its name; 
may mark a new era. From unfolding yellow bud to ruffled cream and rose 
open bloom, one goes to it again and again. Most vigorous hybrid tea in our 
garden. —A. Matthews, Ore.: This rose is making a fine showing at the test 
garden; also, at Lewis and Clark College. Comes yellow and changes to white. 
—A. Milbrath, Ore.: (3 pls., 1 yr.) A gorgeous bud and bloom on very vigorous 
bush with dark green glossy foliage. It is a ‘‘must have.” —A. —NR 9.6.
