I got Artistry the year it was introduced and liked the orange color so much that the next year I bought another one. The second one never was as good as the first and a few years ago I gave it away. Artistry has a nice vibrant orange bloom. The vase life is average. This year was a good year for my Artistry.

I have two of them. Believe me, if you plant it anywhere near the street, and it is blooming, people will actually stop to stare at it. It is the most flourescent, vibrant orange you have ever seen.

Thank you, it sounds nice.

Artistry, in my yard, is a standard. I never saw it as orange. It is a gorgeous coral color in my eyes. Let's see if I can find a photo or two for you. I love this rose. It is somewhat in back of the garden and I don't give it enough tlc.

p.s. In looking over some of the photos, I see how some folks could call it orange. I guess color is also in the eyes of the beholder. I see coral.

It is one of my favorites. I have two of them. Disease resistant, big coral blooms. It flowers very late into my zone 6 season. Sometimes until Thanksgiving, well after the first frost.

It is a large spreading HT, around 4 feet wide. An excellent garden rose for our climate--ours has survived five winters.
