RR x rr / Rr x RR

Explanation:

For all of the first final generation to all produce round peas, it means the parents crossed were pure breeds of both dominant and recessive genotype or one of the the parents is an heterozygote and the other is a pure breed dominant. The resulting peas will have a phenotype which is the observed round shape but their genotype may be either the homozygous RR or the heterozygous Rr.
