Desert Peace

Mild. There *is* a scent, but it's not the main attraction. There are two big pluses (three if you count the vividness of the colors, which just POP in the sunlight). The first is the substance of the blooms. They last for several weeks, are very sturdy and have a long vase life. The other is the same virtue that Joseph's Coat has, and that's the incredible variety of colors and the change of said colors as the bloom matures. Plus, different blooms on the same plant mature differently with different shades of color.Even a bloom in the final days is incredible. Here's an example of 2 third season plants in full blown mode (and this is after me taking a few choice blooms). The cluster of three in the front are in the final stages of life. They have a couple of days left, and they are the most outrageous red/orange Hawaiian sunset color ever. Well, that makes the decision for me. Desert Peace will go on the hill while Barbra Streisand will go by the living room window. Scent wins in this case. As to those who know my love for scent and wonder why I'm interested in the Peace rose, well, Chicago Peace was my very first rose way, way back when. I don't want another Chicago Peace but wanted something in the family so Desert Peace won. Susan shsimko[@]duke[.]edu Colour theme in my garden? What colour theme unless riotous colour is a theme... *grin* (inquiring neighbors wanted to know *laugh*) |
