 ~*~ In cool May morn light Unfolds in stunning array Peace, she comes today ~*~ To commemorate the end of World War II, Conrad Pyle christened this the “Peace Rose.” The rose, introduced formally the day Berlin fell on April 29, 1945, is a shining example of the ability of humans to persevere even in the worst of circumstances and a signal of the beginning of a new era, for to plant Peace in one’s garden is to plant a legacy of remembrance and history. "The Peace Rose" is an English classic, delicately colored with a gorgeous fragrance. Even the thorns add a special character to the rose, serving as a sharp reminder to fingers that pick without considering the consequences. |

Thank you. I had a Peace rose bush in my California garden. It grew well next to my French lavendar and what I called my Happy Honeysuckle. The fragrances were all distinctive, and yet all rested gently side-by-side. Peacefully. Is there a lesson in there maybe? |
