In no ways is this as strong as Peace so be warned if you want to try this one. I agree, the color is quiute mutuable, sometimes pink and white-ish, sometimes burgundy and gold............generally whichever end of the scale it opens as it ends as ashey purple and buff which to me is not at all objectionable......if you go into your relationship with Flaming Peace understanding it really belongs, in my opinion, in the mauve-grey-odd-freak camp with all the imagined plus-es and for real minuses of that camp, you will be pleased. If you go into the relationship expecting anything at all along the lines of Peace itself or Chicago Peace, you will be saddened..............

At my place, it behaves better than Peace or Chicago Peace. Better disease resistant. (on a rootstock) And always interesting how the colours of a single flower evolves!

This rose bloomed in my garden for the first time, and I wondered if I'd received the wrong rose. I expected red with a gold reverse, but mine was pink with a cream reverse. I found it quite helpful to see that some others posted photos of roses with this name that looked exactly like mine!

I think this one might be soil-dependent. In the alkaline red sand at Ruston's Roses, South Australia it was burgundy & gold: stunning. In my garden (slightly acid brown soil over orange clay) it was pinky-red and cream: not up to my expectations. The budwood for mine probably came from Ruston's. Both zone 9b.
