The unexpected joy of growing Peace

I planted Peace without expecting much and it's become one of the most satisfying things in my garden. exceptional fragrance on warm afternoons is something I couldn't have predicted from looking at it in a nursery. You only understand it once the plant is established and performing.

I keep it in a cottage garden mixed planting with lavender which is perfect for it. pruning to an outward-facing bud at a 45-degree angle was the thing I got lucky getting right early. hips forming in autumn for wildlife interest stopped me in my tracks the first time I saw it. black spot fungal disease on the leaves is a real thing — just check regularly and deal with it quickly.
