I love Sutter's Gold and old hybrid tea from the mid 1930's. It changes color as it matures and the fragrance is fruity and fills the garden on warm evenings. It's leaves are disease resistent here in the fungal jungle of the Pacific NW. The blooms withstand our spring rains fairly well also.

I also love Jude the Obscure and old cabbage type that reblooms and is the softest peach with a wonderful fragrance.

I like 'Brandy' because the flowers on this HT are huge and very fragrant...the leaves are a very dark green that stays strong and there is more than one flower on the same branch; a rare thing for Hybrid Teas. The foliage has a burgundy quality to it for quite some time...and it looks exceptional with daylilies and lamb's ear.

I apologize ahead of time if this one was already stated, but how about Achillea millefolium 'Apricot Delight'? Mine blooms apricot/coral. If I'm not mistaken, it can also form dark pink or light pink flowers provided a sunnier location. Not the best photo, but just to give you an idea: http://inlinethumb54.webshots.com/48629/2750746900101542237S600x600Q85.jpg

Apricot is my favorite color of rose so I do grow quite a few and have found most to be healthy and hardy. I do spray, however, but most of these I think would be okay without it. Nancy Reagan--took 2 yrs to mature, but now--WATCH OUT! Mother of Pearl--Marvelous health, vigor, quantity of bloom Marilyn Monroe--All the goodness of her daddy St. Patrick in an apricot flower. European Touch-Monster bush with tons of flowers and no disease. Tahitian Sunset--Multi-color and fragrant--delicious. Welcome Home--Yellow HT-monster bush and tons of flowers. Southern Belle--Little known J&P yellow with old-fashioned blooms and wonderful fragrance. Gold Medal--The absolute grandiflora standard of perfection About Face--took 2 years to establish, now it is huge and throws scads of beautiful blooms. Hollywood Star--Probably the oveall best John Sheldon hybridyzed rose. Beautiful apricot blooms healthy/hardy Day Breaker--My favorite of ALL roses. Great bush without flowers, breathtaking when loaded with dozens of multi-colored apricot/pink/yellow/cream blooms. John

Hi rachieaj--have you considered Abraham Darby? Big, gorgeous, richly peach flowers with a killer fragrance. Mine is 2-3 years old, is in a small space with dappled shade, and hasn't yet shown any aggressive tendencies. It doesn't have a nice, tidy, compact form, so every now and then he'll throw out a floppy arm at a weird angle, but not very often. The shrub could definitely be improved upon, but the flowers really are hard to beat. It's my 2nd favorite for fragrance (after Autumn Damask).

What's your favorite peach/apricot?

I'm a newbie and don't have any to suggest, but am enamored with Polka, Autumn Sunset, Above All, Colette and Lady Ashe (Dixieland Linda) for climbers. Perle d'Or is also sweet looking as well as Margot Koster which tends towards coral. Barbara, that is how I'm choosing mine! I went to the Columbus Park of Roses on a 95+deg day and noted what looked healthyl with plenty of blooms (this was past peak bloom time) and had good fragrance. Had I not, I never would have known how beautiful Sugar Moon was nor how fragrant. Many supposedly scented ones lost it completely in the heat. I also learned what it meant that some red roses "blue" and burn in the heat....not attractive! Lastly, I understood that "needs dead-heading" means the spent blooms will look like so much wet toilet paper strewm on the bush and now look for climbers that drop their petals cleanly. Ky Rose, I'd love to know what gardens are near you. I'm in Cincinnati, but will travel for roses!

My Wife and I love any flower in this color range. In our small urban lot we have a few great Daylilies in this color range; Cantaloupe from Burpee within the past 10 years 'Leprechaun's Lace' blooms 6 -8 weeks in mid-season. My favorite!!! - 'Little Rainbow' my most pampered plant.Can't capture its polychromatic tones on any camera

Sunset Celebration - excellent! Sometimes pink, sometimes apricot - depends on climate, location etc. I love the color against sage green stucco.

Peach/ Apricot roses are my favorite! The ones I have and love are:
Just Joey- Enormous, ruffled, strong fragrance, constantly in bloom.
Tamora- David Austin, peach, smaller bush, myrrh fragrance
Sunset Celebration- Peach-Pink, lovely, classic HT blooms, great for vases.
Livin Easy- Floribunda- more orangey peach with citrus type fragrance, blooms and blooms!
Brass Band- unusual bronze/peach ruffled blooms.
Hope this isn't too confusing!

I ordered another Whiskey Mac, as my other one may have died from the severe winter we had. I was recently informed that they are also require a bit more care, but I have to agree that they are well worth it! If you have ever had the pleasure of smelling a Whiskey Mac rose, you'll never forget it's name. The scent is truly mystical with a fruity/floral headiness that is not overwhelming, but very strong and delightful.

One flower filled half my garden with it's scent and I had to wander around until I found the source. I was truly amazed at how much one lone rose could emmit so much perfume. It didn't even smell like a rose, it was more like a basket of freshly cut fruit and freesia. YUMMM!

A David Austin rose called Pat Austin, named for his wife. Smells so good! And looks good growing beside my double-ruffle peach daylily.
