Roses have been hybridized so extensively and for such a very long time
that the vast majority are variations on a few basic species. The
cultivar 'Peace' would be Rosa 'Peace' but is rarely referred to that way.

If you are interested in actual species roses (wild roses), try a search
for 'species roses' on Google.

A few starting points for roses:
