The Peace rose is the most famous and successful garden rose of all time. Over one hundred million plants have been sold. It is a Hybrid Tea rose with very large flowers and a light yellow to cream color. It is very hardy and resistant to disease making it popular in gardens as well as in the floral trade.
It was developed by French horticulturist Francis Meilland in the years 1935 to 1939.

Answer:
I'm really jealous of all you guys with gardening space. I live in the dorms, so it's impossible for me to do anything outside. I'm getting a house this summer, but I don't know how long I'll be staying in it, so I'm trying to decide if buying a $30 rose bush will be worth it if I won't really get to see it bloom. Anybody here have any luck growing rose bushes in pots then moving them outdoors when it's warm enough?

- Rich The only rose that would grow indoors under lights sucssefuly would be miniature roses. They transplant out doors and need to be looked after and trimmed just like their full sized brethren. There are folks who bother with no other roses. One of the premier breeder/growers is right outside Boston. There is as large a selection in minis as there is in full sized plants. Most of them need a lot of daylight or plant lights.
this is who I refered to and bought from when I had a house and room to grow plants could spend hours each week caring for them.

- Rich no problem. another flowering plant that's pretty easy to grow under full spectrum grow lights are african violets. you can set a timer for the lights to be on 16hrs and let them know when daylight is so you can enjoy them at night.
Try the spring plant and garden show on the west side pier in Manhattan (April?). It is one of the worlds best. Chinese and Japanese make it a pilgramage. The Orchid show is a trip too.

Answer:
Manhattan, KS. I'm pretty sure the little apple doesn't have a world known flower show.

Answer:
thanks Mark
I grew an awful lot of roses at the house in the 70's and 80's. Rose shows always delighted me I just couldnt connect with the people. too much ego, too much baggage or maybe it was me. My favorite was a tea rose that only grew knee high and then it would send out suckers. A gorgeous red with a cream coloring inside and out called Double Delight.


Answer:
wow very nice pictures!
I personally love white roses, if they're intensely scented, all the better.
just a bit unrelated to roses (i think): is there a flower that has more than 2 or 3 colors? i'd like to see one that has 7 or 8 colors!
