I grew both of those plants last year (mine were also from Baker Creek). Patio Orange was disappointing; it loaded up with tomatoes but almost every one had BER. You might have better luck if you're putting it in the ground. I grew mine in a 5 gallon bucket.

Rouge d'Irak was fabulous. It was a high yielder, and the tomatoes had excellent flavor. They were firm tomatoes, though, and not very juicy. I will definitely being growing them again at some point. I didn't keep good enough records to give you DTM, but they ripened mid-season for me.
