Sport of Peace
ARS rating 7.5
Verdict: Very good rose!
Acquired: 1997

Bush
Growth habit : 3 to 4 ft tall and wide - Very vigorous grower - CP needs to be, leafcutter bees love to use it for building material. Hardly notice the chunks they take with all the new growth.
Leaves:
Disease Resistance: Blackspot is only a problem here on stressed plants. Powdery mildew is the main problem and I try to spray the roses that get pm with fungicide every 2 weeks or so when we have cool, dry nights. CP will get just a touch of pm if not sprayed here. Not a pm magnet but it will show up.
Hardiness: Very Good
Blooms
Fragrance: Mild
Flushes: Very good - 25 to 40
Repeat: Good - 5 to 6 weeks
Vase life: Decent - about 5 days
Silly Stuff
Didn't expect much from CP. We like Peace and Deb saw CP one day. She decided she would like to try it. I thought a sport wouldn't be as good as the original... I was wrong about this sport. CP performs better than Peace does here.
