Peace Rose in our yard. November 13, 2011.

This is my post for the Our World meme. This meme is a second generation of My World Tuesday created by Klaus Peter and is hosted by five wonderful ladies. To learn more about our world or to join and share your part of the world, click HERE.
We got to mid-November without a killing frost, so our roses continued to bloom. Most of the leaves are off the trees, so it’s nice to still have some color in the yard.
The rose above is Peace, which since it’s introduction in 1945, has become the most widely-planted rose in the world. Sam McGredy, a famous rose hybridizer, said of the Peace rose “It’s as nearly perfect as a rose can be”. I’m not sure about that, but we sure do like it.

Love and Peace, a descendant of Peace, is another rose that put on a November show for us.

The petals are so pretty – almost like they had been kissed by someone wearing lipstick.
Thank you for sharing your roses, George. I know you spend many hours grooming them.

Love what Maple Lane had to say, about it looking like it had been kissed by someone wearing lipstick! I agree, it does!

Love And Peace may be my favorite EVER!!! The roses today look like you are shining a light into them, they radiate their own light, I guess! Wow!!

‘Peace’ is the only rose I can identify with absolute confidence!! It even grows – or tries to – in our arid garden downunder in OZ! You’ve picked the perfect moment for a photo!

Gorgeous rose. Wish I had a peace rose in my yard but I do still have a few blossoms on a running rose. We’ve not had any killing frost here in Va. either.
