MEILLAND INTERNATIONAL (March, 2nd, 2022).
"To celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Peace Rose, also called 'Mme A. Meilland' in France, 'Gloria Dei' in Germany and 'Goia' in Italy, the House of Meilland wishes to rename a rose known by rose lovers worldwide". "A direct descendant of the Peace rose, Baipeace has the best features: from its beauty to the robustness of its vegetation. These characteristics have enabled it to win numerous distinctions such as the All-America Rose Selection (AARS) award in 2002. Baipeace 'Oriental Peace' thus perpetuates the long tradition at Meilland of exceptional roses bearing constantly renewed stories," the Meilland team states. "This climbing version produces the same classic-shaped roses as the shrub rose from which it originates. It also reflowers during the season. After first blooming in May-June, new roses appear regularly throughout the summer until it blooms again in autumn. Endowed with great vigor, the climbing rose 'Oriental Peace' Baipeacesar spreads its long, climbing branches widely, reaching over 2.5 to 3 meter in height and covering an area of 12 to 15 m²".
btw, I always wondered whether 'Oriental Peace' might be related with the Russian-Ukraine war in Eastern Europe.

What a wonderfully hilarious and ridiculous name for a rose. It's straight out of Monty Python.

I was more surprised it was patented. Climbing HT sports typically have the shelf life of a flea. Most rebloom very poorly, or are too massive. Maybe it's a nice rose. Who knows...
I can think of a select few climbing sports that stuck around, but they are not that great: Peace, Angel Face, Sun Flare (likely the best sport of the bunch), New Year, Maid of Honor, Cecile Brunner (a monster).
I may be missing one or two, but they're no Stormy Weather, Fourth of July, Westerland (etc etc etc).
Sports are real gamble for the customer. I learned that the hard way several times, lol.
