That's amazing. Whoever named that rose was either a dirty fucker or too innocent to function.

The Peace Rose

Posted April 2, 2009


When the United Nations met for the first time after World War II, each of the 50 members found one blossom of this symbolic rose in their hotel

The name "Peace" is this beautiful rose's trade name. Its botanical name is 'Rosa, Madame A. Meilland' for its creator, French botanist Francis Meilland.

War And Peace (Rose): The History Of The Name

The Peace Rose was developed in France in 1935 by Francis Meilland. In June 1939, rose growers from 7 nations visited his nursery and admired Meilland’s new (but then unknown as ‘Peace’) rose.

In September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and World War 2 began. In November, when the Nazis were moving closer to the south of France, the American Consul, a lover of roses, told Meilland he would take some budwood of the new rose to America if Meilland could get it to the consul within two hours to be put on the last plane scheduled to leave the country.

During the subsequent occupation of France, Meilland had to remove all of his roses from his fields in order to use the ground to grow food. But, in 1944, he got word that his precious rose was thriving in the United States and receiving much acclaim.

The Conard-Pyle company marketed the rose in America under the name of ‘Peace’ and introduced it to the public in April 1945, the day that peace was declared in Europe. In June 1945, when the United Nations met for the first time in San Francisco, each of the 50 members who attended the opening session found one blossom of this symbolic rose in their hotel room.

This hardy, vigorous grower features glossy green foliage and bears large, fragrant blooms of creamy yellow flushed with crimson-pink.

After a slow start, the newly hybridized rose, known simply as number 3-35-40, bloomed for the first time in the fall of 1936. Despite the fact that Europe was at war, the rose was introduced in several European countries under different names. In France, it was called “Mme. A. Meilland,” after the hybridizer’s mother. The same rose was introduced in Italy as “Gioia” and in Germany as “Gloria Dei.”
