2018 First-Class Forever Stamp - Peace Rose

The 2018 First-Class Forever Stamp features the exquisite Peace rose, a symbol of hope and resilience. Developed by French horticulturist Francis Meilland in 1935, this stunning flower was introduced to the U.S. on April 29, 1945.

Meilland meticulously selected the best seedlings and nurtured them through challenging times, even sending cuttings to protect them during World War II. The Peace rose has since become a beloved emblem of peace, making this stamp a meaningful addition to any collection.
