Pullman Orient Express ® hybrid tea rose – BAIpeace
If You would like a rose that feels reliable from the moment You plant it, Pullman Orient Express ® is an easy-going hybrid tea that settles into Irish gardens without fuss. Its large, high-centred blooms glow in shades of golden yellow edged with raspberry pink, bringing a truly luxury look to even a small front bed. Bred from the famous ‘Peace’, it inherits a balanced growth habit and medium maintenance needs, so routine care is straightforward rather than demanding. As an own-root plant it builds up gradually, first strengthening its roots, then pushing strong new shoots, and by the third year giving You its full ornamental display with tall, elegant stems. The medium, sweet fragrance adds a romantic note to evening seating areas, while its good tolerance of coastal wind and moisture suits Ireland’s humid climate.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal rose
The bicolour yellow and raspberry-pink flowers catch the eye from the kerb, making a single bush an impressive focal point near a doorway or gate without needing complex design skills, ideal for the busy homeowner buyer
Cut-flower corner by the patio
High-centred, long-stemmed blooms are bred for cutting, so a small group near the patio gives You regular, florist-style roses for vases at home with only occasional deadheading and feeding for the casual flower arranger buyer
Specimen rose in a mixed border
Its tall, upright habit and glossy dark foliage let it rise above perennials, pairing well with lavender or rosemary as a single specimen that brings structure and colour without needing intricate pruning for the relaxed gardener buyer
Small group planting in a family garden
Planted in a group of three to five, bushes knit into a showy block of colour over a few seasons, giving a long-lived feature that children and visitors notice, yet with care that fits easily into normal weekend routines buyer
Rose for coastal or exposed sites
Good tolerance of wind and a damp atmosphere means it copes well where Atlantic breezes and frequent showers might trouble fussier roses, offering dependable flowering even in open, weather-prone Irish plots and yards buyer
Part-shade side garden or passage
Suitable for partial shade, it will still produce quality blooms where sun reaches for only part of the day, such as side returns or between houses, helping You green up awkward spaces around an average home buyer
Large container on balcony or terrace
Its upright form and exhibition-type flowers suit a single plant in a 40–50 litre container, creating a compact, vertical accent of colour and scent close to seating where ground planting is limited for apartment or townhouse dwellers buyer
Long-term feature for low-effort gardens
Own-root growth gives a stable bush that can regenerate from its base after harsh winters or pruning mistakes, supporting a long lifespan with only moderate disease checks, ideal where You prefer simple, sustainable routines in a humid Irish setting buyer
Decorating ideas
Cottage gateway duo – Plant a pair either side of a garden gate with soft geraniums at their feet for a welcoming, country-style entrance – suited to lovers of traditional Irish cottage gardens.
Elegant patio vase – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot with trailing ivy to soften the rim, giving a vertical accent of fragrance by your seating – ideal for balcony and terrace users.
Sunset border highlight – Combine with purple salvias and deep blue catmint so the yellow-pink blooms glow at dusk, creating a warm evening view – perfect for after-work relaxers.
Roses-and-clematis frame – Place Pullman Orient Express ® near a light clematis such as ‘Rooguchi’ on an obelisk, so bell-shaped flowers mingle with the rose for a romantic frame – appealing to creative hobby gardeners.
Formal feature bed – Arrange three to five bushes in a neat oval bed edged with low box or lavender to echo classic rose gardens on a smaller scale – great for homeowners wanting structured but simple planting.
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as BAIpeace, traded as Pullman Orient Express ® hybrid tea rose; also known in exhibitions as Love & Peace ™, belonging to the Hybrid Tea commercial group.
Origin and breeding
Bred in the United States in 1991 by Ping Lim and Jerry F. Twomey, from an unknown seedling crossed with ‘Peace’; introduced and first distributed by Bailey Nurseries in 2002.
Awards and recognitions
All-America Rose Selections 2002; People’s Choice Awards at Baden–Baden and Orléans 2004; Portland ‘Best Rose’ 2006; Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit, confirming strong garden performance.
Growth and structure
Upright hybrid tea with dense, glossy dark green foliage, moderate prickles and weak self-cleaning; typically 130–170 cm high, spreading 70–90 cm, forming a vertical, bushy presence in beds and borders.
Flower morphology
Very double, high-centred exhibition blooms with over 40 petals, borne mainly singly on long stems; extra-large flowers of cut-rose type, repeating well through the season with notably abundant second flushes.
Colour and phenology
Golden-yellow petals edged vivid raspberry pink; buds flushed rosy-red; colours soften to yellow-cream with a broader pink-salmon edge, with moderate colour retention and some lightening in strong sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, sweet fragrance with a classic rose character; scent is noticeable around the plant and on cut stems indoors, adding sensory interest without being overwhelming in smaller seating areas.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is generally low due to very double flowers; where formed, hips are small, ovoid, orange-red (about 10–14 mm), appearing only occasionally and not a major ornamental feature.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -15 to -12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b); disease resistance moderate to black spot, mildew and rust, needing periodic checks and treatment in wetter, high-pressure seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny to lightly shaded sites with well-drained soil; space 55 cm for beds, 50 cm for hedging, 90 cm for specimens; water during drought, feed annually, and deadhead to encourage repeat flowering.
Pullman Orient Express ® offers luxurious bicolour blooms, reliable repeat flowering and a tall, elegant shape on a long-lived own-root plant that recovers well from winter and beginner mistakes, making it a reassuring choice if You are unsure where to start.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
