Video:
The Intriguing History of the 
Peace Rose

Perhaps the world’s most famous rose – the Peace rose – has one of the most dramatic stories to tell. Developed by Meilland International on the eve of World War II, a clipping of the rose made its way from France to the Conard-Pyle Co. for safekeeping during the war.

Coincidentally, the AARS named Peace its only winner for 1946 on the same day Japan surrendered, effectively ending the war.
