This classic gal is getting hard to find. I only know of Rogue Valley Roses to offer her nowadays; as of August 6, 2025, she is in stock there, and I've ordered three. My last try from Roses Unlimited died over her first winter, and RU has elected to no longer offer 'Charlotte Armstrong'. I've sought her since middle school, so it's been twenty to twenty-five years to find and acquire her.

If you ever find them, you also want Banner, Charlotte's striped sport and Stockton Beauty, a darker sport of her.

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!

I've found that, being a sport essentially differing in colour only, 'Flaming Peace' behaves identically to its sport sibling 'Chicago Peace' and parent, 'Peace'. The plants are exactly the same in appearance and habit for me, and CP and FP are on Dr. Huey and R. multiflora respectively.

Acquired as a healthy, but less than 1 year old rooted plant this year. Planted in the ground and it had 2-3 blooms, but struggled and started to die back. Moved to a pot and it's looking much healthier with lots of new growth in <1 month. When in the ground, it was struggling wtih black spot, but after moving to the pot (the pot is sitting in the same spot where it was planted in the ground), I'm not seeing any BS (presumably because it's healthier now). The blooms it did have were small and shattered within 1-2 days, but were pretty while present. It's still very small, so I'm curious to see how it performs once more established.

How is your rose doing now?
I had a similar experience-it flourished in a pot, and then, not so much in the ground. I’ve tried a few different spots-it’s now in a location most roses would love, but it’s still not thriving. It’s only maybe 8” tall after, um, 2 or 3 years. Is it a very hungry plant?

The performance you're describing means this doesn't generate a very vigorous root system and would definitely improve if budded. Growing it in a pot would benefit it due to increased heat compared to the colder soil; better soil (potting v. garden soil) and likely more attention to its needs than it would probably get in the ground. You should try budding it and see for yourself.

Can you recommend any resources that teach how to bud? I do happen to have some Dr Huey and some multiflora I could try budding on. But I’m a bit afraid of messing it up and possibly losing my plant. :(

First, you don't want to bud ON your mother plants of the root stocks. Keep them well watered to push vigorous growth. You want to root straight sections of their canes for stocks. Those are what you want to bud on. Once you have a vigorously growing mother plant of your stocks, you can root and bud as many as you want.
While you're pushing your stocks, push Blue Moon Stone. Keep it properly watered and fed, using whatever fertilizer you have the best success with. Do NOT let it flower. Keep the flower buds pinched or cut off, but leave every leaf on the plant so it keeps it well fed. By pushing growth instead of flowers, you will bring the plant into as vigorous maturity as possible in as short a period as possible. Letting it produce flowers will delay its maturity. You want strong, large buds to use so you produce stronger, more vigorous plants.
Root stocks to practice budding on using other less valuable varieties to you. Build your proficiency while your stocks and Blue Moon Stone develop into larger, more vigorous plants so when you are ready, you will have good material and skills to produce good plants.
Once you've budded a variety on a stock, if it fails and if there is room to insert another bud, you can insert another bud of the SAME variety on that stock. Budding anything else on a used stock increases the potential for you passing any plant viruses from one variety to another. Hopefully your stocks are virus indexed, tested for plant viruses and found to not be infected. If they aren't, then it's a gamble. Plants can be infected for decades before showing any symptoms. Just because you don't see symptoms does NOT mean there isn't viral infection.
Burling Leong of Burlington Roses created an article to illustrate Chip Budding. It's the easiest method of budding, requiring the least amount of skill. You will have to Google the title as the system is not allowing me to post URL's. Propagating Tree Roses by Chip Budding
I created the post on my blog to illustrate and explain Chip Budding. You can access my blog at Pushingtheroseenvelope@blogspot.com Search for Chip Budding and the article following it "It's been a good year for budding".
This post contains MANY photographs of chip budding. Hopefully it will help illustrate what you want to do.
You probably want to visit YouTube and search “Chip Budding roses” or “Budding Roses”. That will bring up many videos demonstrating how to do it. Hopefully, this has given you some direction and ideas and pointed you where to look for more information. Don’t let it intimidate you. Have fun with it and good luck!
