Gpt. Pullman Orient Express (Oriental Peace)

Full description:

There are journeys that take us from one place to another, and there are journeys that remain with us forever. The legendary Orient Express belonged to the second kind. Crossing Europe in unmatched elegance, it became a symbol of romance, refinement and discovery. Pullman Orient Express (Oriental Peace) brings that same spirit into the garden, transforming ordinary walls and pergolas into places that invite admiration and quiet escape.

Created by the renowned House of Meilland Richardier, this climbing rose combines spectacular flowers with the graceful habit of a climber that naturally elevates the landscape. Large blooms of luminous yellow are delicately framed by Bengal-pink edges, creating an elegant contrast that appears almost illuminated against the healthy dark green foliage.

The flowers measure around 14 cm across and are composed of approximately 50 petals, each carrying a rich fruity fragrance that accompanies every flowering. As the rose climbs higher each season, it gradually transforms fences, arches, pergolas and façades into living displays of colour, allowing the beauty of the flowers to be appreciated from every angle.

Flowering repeatedly throughout the season, Pullman Orient Express continues to reward the garden with successive flushes of luxurious blooms. Its vigorous climbing habit, healthy foliage and outstanding garden performance make it as reliable as it is beautiful, while the exceptionally long-lasting flowers are equally impressive in floral arrangements.

Winner of the prestigious All-America Rose Selections (AARS) award, this remarkable climber is recognised not only for its beauty but also for its overall performance. It is a rose that turns every vertical space into a destination—one where elegance, fragrance and unforgettable memories meet season after season.
