Peace is one of the six roses that feature on the set of porcelain introduced under the name of Harry Wheatcroft and was made for Harry by Royal Standard, Paragon and Roslyn. It is also one of the roses that was in the garden already when I moved to Burwell in 2017.

The Peace rose was bred in France by Francis Meiland and was first introduced their in 1942 as Madame A. Meilland. It was later re-named the Peace rose after Field Marshall Alan Brooke declined to have it named after him for his part in the liberation of France, though he thought it nice thought. Introduced in the USA as the Peace rose by Conrad-Pyle in 1945, it has won many awards around the world and has lemon-yellow flowers that have pink edges and can grow to about 200cm by 90. it was introduced in the Australia by the Hazlewood Brothers and in the UK by the Wheatcroft Brothers.
