National Peace Rose Day
April 29th is National Peace Rose Day. The inside of a Peace rose has light yellow to cream-colored petals with pink petals around the outside edges. It is a hybrid tea rose that is hardy, vigorous, and highly resistant to disease. Rich loved experimenting with his rose bushes and some would have beautiful mixed colors.
This is one of our roses that I never know the name of but it looks similar to a Peace Rose. I love this photo I took in the early morning with dew drops on the petals.
This is another rose from our garden that could be a Peace Rose, it has the cream colored inside petals and pink around the outside.
Whether these are true Peace Roses or not, I still love the colors in them. To me every rose could be a Peace Rose because of their beauty.
Happy Birthday Willie Nelson
Today is also Willie Nelsons birthday! He was born April 29, 1933 and he turns 91 years old today. Willie is an American country singer, guitarist and songwriter. I’ve always loved his rebel/outlaw country songs along with his gospel singing. Happy Birthday Willie, keep singing your country songs!

This is the cover of the gospel song Uncloudy Day sung by Willie Nelson, one of my favorites.
I think my wife has a few of these out in her garden. I can recall seeing roses with these colors.

Actually every rose gives me peace just looking at them Timothy.
Your roses are gorgeous, and as you’re saying, who cares if they’re called eace Roses or not. I do like the name. May we have peace on Earth already, please?
Yes the Peace roses give me peace just looking at them Tamara.

Thanks Amrita!
Willie Nelson lived where I do now in Texas. He owned quite a bit of land but has sold it off now for new subdivisions. Can’t believe he is 91!
That’s an interesting tid-bit about Willie, Angie!
Love those roses!! That’s so neat that you have that beauty in your backyard. Happy Birthday to Willie Nelson. He’s on Beyonce’s country album, by the way. 😉
Thanks Jeanine, I didn’t know he was on Beyonce’s country album!
