Peace is available from specialty nurseries own root. It wasn't one the old Week's offered own root, but who knows what is being done with either Week's or J&P in their new "versions"? The old rules no longer apply. Both of the original concerns produced all of their stock. I know J&P has been reduced to purchasing and resellling. It is entirely possible some of that goes on with the new Week's, too. Who knows? But, nothing else explains how a Perfect Moment could suddenly produce entirely different foliage and flower types. A shift in color I can see. Roses and most other plants sport (mutate) but never so completely it changes the texture and color of the foliage and bloom. Sporting traditionally alters only one main characteristic at a time, such as from bush to climber; changing flower color from traditional Peace to Chicago Peace or Flaming Peace; from large size to mini or vice versa, but never the entire plant and all its parts at once.
