Description

A true and very unusual story of two remarkable families, the Meillands in Lyons and the Paolinos in Antibes, who shared a common devotion to roses and later became united through marriage and through their work together; and of the creation of the famous Peace Rose that became known throughout the world at the end of the Second World War.
