BÉKE - PEACE – light yellow with pink petal edges tea-hybrid rose - Meilland
Bring timeless elegance to a compact London front garden with BÉKE - PEACE, a classic hybrid tea designed for modern, low-fuss spaces. Large, perfectly formed blooms in pastel yellow with pink-edged petals appear in generous flushes, giving months of flowering interest from early summer into autumn. Its own-root form supports long-term longevity, building a strong, resilient framework that settles steadily rather than demanding constant replacement. In a typical family setting, it offers reliable structure and upright growth that works beautifully among lavender, sage or nepeta, even where soils are heavy but well-drained after rain and wind in exposed gardens. A soft yet noticeable fragrance adds a calm, evening presence when you return home, while glossy, dark green foliage and respected award-winning heritage reassure you that this is a proven, garden‑worthy choice. Planted once, it gradually matures – roots in the first year, stronger shoots in the second, and full ornamental impact by the third, all from an easy-to-handle 2‑litre container.

Reasoning
Feature rose for a small London front garden
The upright habit and well-shaped, exhibition-style blooms give a clear focal point without overwhelming a narrow plot or terraced frontage. Recurrent flowering keeps the entrance welcoming for months, ideal for a tidy, pride-of-place front door setting for the busy urban homeowner.
Cutting and vase arrangements from your own garden
Large, very double flowers on strong stems are perfect for cutting, bringing the classic Peace look indoors. Regularly taking stems encourages more buds, so a single plant can supply repeat bunches across the season for the home flower enthusiast.
Structured, long-lived specimen in a mixed border
As an own-root plant, it establishes a stable framework that regenerates well from the base if pruned harder or after winter damage, supporting a long garden life with consistent shape and bloom for the forward-planning gardener.
Romantic focal point in a “girly” pastel scheme
The soft yellow and pink-edged petals blend effortlessly with blush perennials and light ornamental grasses, giving a poised, feminine look without becoming garish, ideal beside pale gravel paths or painted railings for the romantic stylist.
Balanced planting with lavender, sage or nepeta
Glossy, dark green foliage and upright growth contrast beautifully with the looser forms of lavender, culinary sage or nepeta, creating a calm, textural composition that also supports bees around the rose for the eco-aware city gardener.
Reliable centrepiece in exposed or coastal gardens
Once established, it copes steadily with blustery, rain-laden conditions typical of British weather, provided soil drains freely after heavy showers, giving dependable structure and bloom where more delicate roses might struggle for the resilient-plant seeker.
Peat-free container planting on patios or balconies
Its upright habit suits large, deep containers of 40–50 litres or more, filled with quality peat-free compost and watered with saved rainwater to reduce mains use, making a single, statement plant manageable for the space-conscious balcony owner.
Low-fuss but rewarding rose for beginners
Moderate care needs and remontant flowering mean you mainly deadhead and feed, with own-root growth bouncing back well if pruning feels tentative, helping you gain confidence while still enjoying classic blooms for the first-time rose grower.
Styling ideas
Pastel-Pathway – Line a short front path with BÉKE - PEACE between soft pink salvias and low nepeta, echoing the pastel tones of the blooms – for design-led London terrace owners seeking gentle kerb appeal.
Balcony-Bouquet – Plant a single rose in a 50-litre frost-proof pot with trailing thyme, using rainwater from a small butt to keep it thriving – for balcony gardeners wanting classic cut flowers from limited space.
Heritage-Courtyard – Combine with box balls, lavender and pale gravel to highlight its historic award-winning status as a calm focal point – for homeowners who appreciate traditional elegance in a compact courtyard.
Family-Showpiece – Place one specimen near a seating area, underplanted with chives and dwarf asters for late colour – for families wanting a photogenic backdrop with minimal extra maintenance.
Soft-Hedge – Create a loose, romantic hedge at 55–65 cm spacing, interspersed with airy grasses to move in the wind – for urban gardeners replacing hard paving with greener, more sustainable boundaries.

Bred by Francis Xavier Meilland in France in 1935, introduced by Meilland International in 1945. Complex parentage selected for refined flower form, pastel colouring and strong garden and exhibition performance.
Awards and recognition
World’s Favourite Rose (World Federation of Rose Societies, 1976), American Rose Society Hall of Fame (1976), All-America Rose Selection (USA, 1946), RHS Award of Garden Merit (UK, 1993).
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright bush, typically 110–150 cm tall and 75–105 cm wide, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickles. Forms a defined, structural shrub suitable for feature planting or loose hedging.
Flower morphology
Large, solitary, very double blooms with 40+ petals, cup to chalice shaped. Remontant, with a generous main flush and a reliable second flowering, providing a long decorative season in suitable conditions.
Colour data and phenology
Delicate light-yellow base with pink-tinged outer edges; ARS LYB, RHS 11C outer and 65C inner. Colour softens in heat, while cooler weather intensifies the pink edging for variable, nuanced garden interest.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, soft classic rose scent, noticeable at close range without being overpowering. Best appreciated near paths, doors or seating, where the fragrance can be enjoyed in calm evening conditions.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small spherical hips, around 12–18 mm, orange-red when ripe. Ornamentally modest and usually reduced by regular deadheading for repeat flowering, rather than grown primarily for autumn display.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to around −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish Zone 4). Good black spot resistance; moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and rust, requiring basic monitoring and standard garden care.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil; copes with heavier clays if drainage is improved. Space at 55–100 cm depending on use; water regularly in dry spells and deadhead to sustain repeat flowering.

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.
