BÉKE - PEACE – light yellow with pink petal edges tea-hybrid rose - Meilland
This classic hybrid tea brings Peace to the garden with elegant, large blooms in soft yellow brushed with pink, carried on an upright, well-foliaged habit that suits tidy beds and front gardens. Its medium, well-balanced fragrance and exhibition-quality flowers make it ideal when you would like a rose that looks as good in the vase as it does by the path. As an own-root plant it builds a durable bush that regenerates reliably, giving long-term value and stable ornamental presence. Expect a natural progression – roots in the first year, stronger shoots in the second, and full ornamental impact by the third – all with straightforward care that suits busy gardeners coping with wetter, windier conditions near exposed sites. With remontant blooming through the season, you can enjoy repeated flushes without complicated pruning or specialist techniques.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal planting
Ideal as a statement hybrid tea by the front gate or path, its upright, well-balanced growth and glossy foliage forming a neat, vertical accent that stays proportionate in typical British front gardens; particularly suitable for those seeking a dignified, classic look for the home approach for the beginner.
Small groups in mixed borders
Planted in groups of three, the large, pastel yellow and pink flowers read clearly from a distance and mix gently with perennials and cottage-style planting, delivering repeated colour without overwhelming the scheme and keeping maintenance modest for the homeowner.
Cutting and exhibition corner
Bred as a renowned exhibition hybrid tea, the long, straight stems and high-centred blooms are excellent for cutting, allowing you to create classic indoor arrangements from a small garden patch while still keeping a tidy, structured outdoor presence for the enthusiast.
Specimen rose in lawn or gravel
Used as a lone specimen at around 100 cm spacing, its defined outline and continuous flowering create a clear focal point without needing complex companion planting, suiting simple lawn or gravel settings that favour clean lines and easy mowing for the minimalist.
Structured rose beds and hedging lines
Regular spacing in rows or blocks makes the most of its upright form, allowing you to build formal rose beds or low, flowering hedges that remain readable and easy to manage, with predictable height and spread simplifying annual pruning for the planner.
Classic cottage-style combinations
The pastel bicolour flowers blend effortlessly with traditional cottage companions, softening bolder hues while still providing defined blooms; repeat flowering keeps interest between perennial peaks, avoiding bare lulls and supporting a relaxed yet ordered feel for the stylist.
Long-lived own-root rose border
As an own-root plant it forms its shape in situ, gradually adapting to your soil and care so that, once established, it offers stable, regenerating growth and reliable flowering year after year with straightforward seasonal tasks that suit the low-fuss gardener.
Sheltered beds in exposed or damp regions
In coastal or rainy districts it performs best in well-drained, slightly sheltered beds, where its robust framework copes with breezes once anchored, supporting dependable flowering even where wetter, windier conditions would challenge less solid shrubs for the urbanite.
Styling ideas
Doorway welcome – Plant a single bush by the front door, underplanted with low lavender cotton to echo its soft tones – ideal for homeowners wanting a calm, inviting entrance.
Pastel trio – Group three plants with dwarf asters and chives along a path for repeating soft colour and easy cutting – suited to beginners building a first mixed border.
Formal ribbon – Create a low, straight rose line at 55 cm spacing along a drive, relying on its upright habit for structure – for those who like orderly, easy-to-read designs.
Cottage corner – Combine with loose perennials in a sunny corner to contrast its sculpted blooms with relaxed foliage – perfect for cottage-garden fans wanting gentle structure.
Specimen spotlight – Set one plant in a small gravel circle in the lawn as a stand-alone feature – appealing to busy gardeners seeking impact from a single, manageable rose.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
BÉKE - PEACE hybrid tea rose by Meilland, internationally famous under the exhibition name ‘Peace’; historic, unregistered cultivar widely recognised in gardens and shows.
Origin and breeding
Bred in France in 1935 by Francis Xavier Meilland from complex hybrid tea parentage; introduced by Meilland International in 1945 to commemorate the end of the war.
Awards and recognition
Highly decorated: All-America Rose Selection 1946, RHS Award of Garden Merit 1993, World’s Favourite Rose 1976, and American Rose Society Hall of Fame induction 1976.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright, medium-strong shrub reaching about 110–150 cm with a 75–105 cm spread; dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a well-filled, vertical bush.
Flower morphology
Large, very double, high-centred blooms with over 40 petals, typically borne singly on stems; cup to chalice-shaped flowers with abundant second flushes through the season.
Colour data and phenology
Light yellow base with pink-edged petals; tones soften in heat, while cooler weather strengthens the pink margin, giving a refined, pastel bicolour effect at different stages of opening.
Fragrance and aroma
Soft, medium-strength scent typical of classic hybrid teas; pleasantly noticeable on warm, still days without becoming overpowering, making it suitable near seating or paths.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, spherical hips 12–18 mm across, maturing to orange-red; not a heavy hip producer, so visual emphasis remains on flowers rather than autumn fruiting.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to around -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b); moderate disease resistance overall with good black spot resistance but some susceptibility to mildew and rust in humid spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny, well-drained sites; medium maintenance with periodic deadheading and protection in high disease pressure areas; recommended spacings 55–100 cm depending on use.
BÉKE - PEACE offers large, fragrant, exhibition-quality blooms on a reliable, upright shrub that matures steadily on its own roots into a long-lived feature; an excellent choice if you would like a classic rose that rewards simple care.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
