Introduced in 2002 by Jerry Lim and James Twomey, 'Love & Peace' (PP14731, also known as BAIpeace, Bright Spirit, Orient Express) carries a name that resonated deeply in its post-9/11 debut year. This hybrid tea combines classic exhibition form with a novel color blend: golden yellow petals edged in pink, deepening to a warm coral-pink as the bloom ages.

The high-centered buds open slowly, revealing the color transformation that gives each bloom a unique character. The fragrance is moderate, with fruity and tea notes. The plant is vigorous and upright, 4-5 feet tall, with dark green, semi-glossy foliage showing good disease resistance. 'Love & Peace' was bred for the cut-flower market but translates beautifully to the garden, where its long stems and lasting blooms make it a favorite for arrangements. A rose whose name became a prayer for its time—and whose beauty continues to answer it.
