KBW's Comments:
The pics are of roses growing in Canada so not of much use for Pakistani growers, however, Chicago Peace which is a sport of Peace is available in Pakistan and in many ways, may behave closer to his father which is a popular rose in Pakistan. It would be interesting to see the the pics of Chicago Peace growing in Pakistan.

Please note the difference in colour. In cooler climate, Chicago Peace has mild colours, pink and cream. In hot climate, the colours get dark and more showy, indeed looking more beautiful though the size of bloom seems to have reduced a bit. I would say that Chicago Peace in darker and brigher colours growing in Islamabad looks more beautiful. What do you guys reckon?
