Chicago Peace Rose
I grew up in northwestern Indiana where Chicago was 'The City'. I never thought of Chicago as being particularly peaceful, but this rose, Chicago Peace, is definitely beautiful.
I bet it smells divine too. Did you see that silly Betsy in all of the bubbles? I didn't comment on her blog about it, I was waiting to tell you. She is something else, bet she keeps you going all the time.
This is a popular hardy rose. Pretty much the only roses that do well where I live are Explorers ( a series developed in Ottawa), Parkland and/or Morden (developed in Manitoba, Canada) rugosas and carpet roses. You can grow such a nice variety.
I'm a happily married retiree living on the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. I taught for 31 years and worked as a systems analyst for 9 years before retiring.
