Chicago Peace
Chicago Peace hybrid tea rose. A color variant of the most famous rose of all time that was discovered in the windy city of Chicago. The pink edge of Peace becomes deeper, and sometimes suffuses the entire surface of the petals—and the reverse is a deep rich gold. A rather unstable sport and to keep your plant pure, cut the reversions to the point of origin. Same rugged plant and foliage and fragrant only if you have a good imagination. Weatherproof and hardy on a tough, disease resistant plant clothed in dark green, leathery foliage. Hot weather is its favorite and it laughs at frigid temperatures.
