BÉKE - PEACE – light yellow with pink petal edges tea-hybrid rose - Meilland
If You would like a rose that feels reliable in a typical Irish front garden, BÉKE – PEACE offers large, classic hybrid tea blooms in soft yellow with a pink edge on an upright, bushy plant that copes steadily with our damp seasons and frequent showers, provided the soil drains reasonably well. Its famous, medium-strength scent and long, straight stems are ideal if You enjoy cutting a few flowers for the house, while the glossy dark foliage sets off the pastel colours beautifully in beds and borders. As an own-root plant, it builds a deep, lasting root system for longevity and easier regeneration after winter or pruning, helping the bush keep a good shape for many years with only moderate care. In year one it concentrates on roots, in year two it pushes stronger shoots, and by year three it usually shows its full ornamental value with generous repeat flowering, giving You a dependable, elegant focal point without complicated gardening routines.

Small group planting (1–5 roses)
Planted in a group at the recommended spacing, the uniform, upright bushes create a formal yet soft-looking block of colour that suits compact front gardens and short driveway runs, staying manageable in size for urban-gardeners

The bushy, moderately thorny plant with large, easily appreciated flowers suits family gardens where You want something showy yet straightforward, needing only occasional plant protection and watering during dry spells for families
Irish cottage-style front border
Its romantic, pastel flowers and classic shape combine beautifully with traditional cottage plants while tolerating our cool, wet, often overcast conditions, as long as the soil is improved to avoid standing water, which reassures cautious beginners

Origin and breeding
Bred by Francis Xavier Meilland in France (1935) from complex hybrid tea parentage including George Dickson and Margaret McGredy; introduced by Meilland International in 1945 and widely distributed worldwide since.
Awards and recognitions
Honoured as All-America Rose Selection (USA, 1946), RHS Award of Garden Merit (UK, 1993), World Federation of Rose Societies “World’s Favourite Rose” (1976) and American Rose Society Hall of Fame inductee (1976).
Growth and structure
Upright hybrid tea bush, typically 110–150 cm high and 75–105 cm wide, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a well-balanced, medium-sized shrub under normal garden conditions.
Flower morphology
Large (around 7–10 cm), very double blooms with 40+ petals, usually borne singly on long stems; cup to chalice-shaped flowers give a classic hybrid tea exhibition form suitable for garden display and cutting.
Colour and phenology
Delicate light-yellow base with warmer yellow centres and pink-edged outer petals; colour softens in heat, while cooler conditions intensify the pink rim; remontant, with a strong second flush and repeat flowering in season.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, soft classic rose fragrance, pleasant but not overpowering; best appreciated near seating or paths where the large, double flowers can be enjoyed at close range in still or lightly breezy conditions.
Rose hip characteristics
Forms small, spherical orange-red hips 12–18 mm across, but not abundantly; hips are mainly of ornamental interest after flowering where deadheading is not carried out rigorously in late season.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about -26 – -23 °C (USDA 5b, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4); black spot resistance good, powdery mildew and rust moderate; tolerates heat with regular watering, but prefers moist, well-drained soils.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions at 55–100 cm spacing, in well-drained soil; allow 2.5–2.9 plants/m² for mass planting; maintenance is medium, needing occasional plant protection, feeding and deadheading for best repeat flowering.
BÉKE - PEACE offers large fragrant blooms, dependable repeat flowering and long-lived own-root growth, making it a practical, elegant choice for family gardens if You would like a rose that simply performs.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
