Description edit
'Glowing Peace' is a medium, bushy shrub, 3 to 4 ft (90–151 cm) in height with a 2 to 3 ft (60–90 cm) spread. Blooms are 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm) in diameter, with a cupped bloom form. Flowers are orange and yellow with dark pink edges, and resemble the 'Peace rose', but are more striking in color, with non-fading pink edges. The flowers open from attractive, rounded buds which are dark red and yellow on the outside. Flowers are borne singly, and in small clusters up to five, on long, sturdy stems. The rose has a light, sweet tea fragrance and large, dark green foliage.[2] 'Glowing Peace' is a vigorous grower, and blooms continuously from spring through fall. The plants does well in USDA zone 7 and warmer.[1]
'Glowing Peace' was used by Allain Meilland, in France, to hybridize, the hybrid tea Rosa, 'Apricot Candy', (2006). The cultivar's stock parents are ('Just Joey' x 'Midas Touch') x ('Alphonse Daudet' x 'Glowing Peace'). The rose is a taller shrub than 'Glowing Peace' and its flowers are an apricot-pink blend.[3]
