Breeding history
The French nursery "Meiland" became the birthplace of the most famous variety "Gloria Dei". The gardener Joseph Rambeau, who had a special love for roses, gave rise to a business that became the work of a lifetime. He was continued by his daughter, son-in-law and grandson Francis. It was he who, in 1935, raised 50 hybrids from seeds brought from the United States. Examining the flowers that had just blossomed, the young breeder noticed a pink-yellow specimen. On the seedling, two of the three buds died. The famous "Gloria Day" emerged from the third.
During this period, the plant did not yet have the status and registered name, but it was very popular, it was sent from the nursery to many countries on the orders of breeders and gardeners. The established ties were disrupted by the war that began in 1939 and swept across Europe. Rose in different states gave their names. In her homeland she was named "Madame Meilland" (Mine A. Meilland), the Italians gave the name - "Delight" (Gioia), in Germany - "Glory to God" (Gloria Dei), in the USA - "Peace" (Peace). The rose was delivered to the USSR under the name "Gloria Day".
