It&#8217;s thought to immediately become a collectible.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he was going to use the panel of 20 stamps he bought at a temporary kiosk at the center, Allen Owings of The American Rose Society replied, &#8220;Never!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Among the special guests were Sonia Meilland-Guibert, the granddaughter of the man who created what would become the Peace Rose in France.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A special day because it&#8217;s in memory of my grandfather.

And in April of 1945, on the day Berlin fell and the Allies achieved victory in Europe, it was announced in the U-S that the creamy yellow rose with the pink edges would be named the Peace Rose.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers at the dedication ceremony read from historic statements of why it was so named, including the President of the company given credit for saving the flower.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are persuaded that this greatest new rose of our time should be named for the world&#8217;s greatest desire &#8212; peace,&#8221; said Bradd Yoder, President of Star Roses And Plants.<\/p>\n<p>Patricia Shanley, President of the American Rose Society, continued with the historic statement, &#8220;We believe that this rose is destined to live as a classic in our grandchildren&#8217;s gardens, and for generations to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And a postal official praised the beauty of the stamp itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The stamp is a small masterpiece.

A. MEILLAND,&#8221; still thriving around the world today&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As the amazing PEACE ROSE story goes&#8230;. In 1939, Francis MEILLAND, realizing that war with Germany was just a matter of days, sent cuttings of his <em>&#8220;MME. A. MEILLAND,&#8221;<\/em> named after his beloved mother, to his rose growers friends in Italy, Turkey, Germany and &#8211; last but not least &#8211; to his dear friend Robert PYLE, co-founder of Conrad Pyle Co. in Pennsylvania, THE most famous rose breeder in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, thanks to Francis Meilland&#8217;s wisdom, quick thinking and marvelous act of RESISTANCE, the precious rose cuttings &#8220;escaped&#8221; to America on the very last Summer flight, right before the German invasion of France.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to communicate with each other during the war, it was not until June 1945 that, to Francis&#8217; greatest surprise, he got the happiest news of all from his old friend Robert PYLE: while France and its allies were heroically fighting Nazi Germany, Conrad Pyle Co. had been so successfull with their own experiments while cultivating the cuttings, they had already named the newborn rose &#8220;PEACE,&#8221; thus symbolically marking the end of the trials and suffering which Europe and the world had lived for five horrific years.<\/p>\n<p>As the magnificent &#8220;PEACE ROSE&#8221; continued its mission of garden beautification, spreading more love and happiness around the world, giving peacemongers like famous American journalists Drew PEARSON and Leon PEARSON, a new sense of hope&#8230; two years before launching their own production, the legendary FRIENDSHIP TRAIN&#8230; Then came the United Nations. As Francis Meilland reported back then:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em> &#8220;The ceremony at which&#8221;PEACE&#8221; was baptized took place under the auspices of the American Rose Society, after several months notice of the event had been given.\u00a0 The date had been fixed for 29th April, 1945, which, by an extra-ordinary coincidence, was also that of the fall of Berlin.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Shortly after that, the first meeting of 49 delegations of the United Nations took place in San Francisco, and the heads of these 49 delegations received, each in its own apartment, a small vase with a single rose &#8220;PEACE&#8221; accompanied by the following message:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;This is the PEACE ROSE which was christened at the Pacific Rose Society Exhibition in Pasadena on the day Berlin fell.\u00a0 We hope that the PEACE ROSE will influence men&#8217;s thoughts for everlasting WORLD PEACE.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>American\u00a0 Rose Society<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Dr. Ray Allen Sec.
