Plant a piece of garden history with the Chicago Peace Rose. This classic hybrid tea rose, a perfect fit for Zones 7 and 8, is a vibrant sport of the world-famous ‘Peace’ rose. It produces large, high-centered blooms that are a stunning and ever-changing blend of fuchsia-pink, rich yellow, and warm apricot, creating a lovely, watercolor-like effect. The flowers have a gentle, sweet fragrance and appear on long, sturdy stems, making them an excellent choice for cutting and bringing indoors. With its vigorous, upright, and bushy growth habit, reaching a mature height of 4-5 feet, this rose is a magnificent focal point in any landscape. It’s also known for its good disease resistance, which makes it a gardener’s delight.

To help your rose flourish, plant it in a sunny location where it will receive at least six hours of full sun daily. When planting, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden’s native soil to provide a rich, well-draining start. After planting, water deeply and then apply a fresh layer of mulch to help the soil retain moisture. Feed your rose with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food at planting and every 6-8 weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply of beautiful blooms. While no rose is completely deer-proof, its thorny canes may offer some natural resistance.
