I have a few apricotish ones--some I've rarely shown, others shown quite often. Bear with me. : )

Valencia (Kordes HT)--looking prim and proper here. As the blooms mature, they become bigger and bigger and loosely casual--but still impressive as heck!

Well Being (shrub)--her colors keep changing, quite apricotish here, more golden yellow the more the blooms mature.

Lady of Shalott (Austin)--can sometimes be downright apricot-orange, more golden-apricot other times.

Buff Beauty (hyb.musk)--one of the beautiful spring bloomers.

Molineux (Austin)--in a very decided apricotish mood in this pic.

Elle (HT)--she has very definite apricot hues at times.

Some wonderful pics above. I particularly like the colors on Sara's Lady of Shalott; Ninkasi's Cream Veranda is luscious; Jacqueline's Fortune's Double Yellow--I've always liked that one; Ann's Lady Bird Johnsonl--what a lovely swirling form and color! Rosecanadian's Lucille Ball--another great form and color!

Hope you enjoyed mine also. : )

I have quite a few orange and apricots. I tend to be drawn to that color for some reason. A few that my inventory says are apricots, like Ambiance and Show Stopper, are usually very pink for me though so I'm not going to include them.

Above All

America

Granada

Pinnochio

Tropicana

The few that I have are apricot, since I don't care for orange, and are all old rose varieties.

Rosette Delizy

Miss Atwood

Madame Melanie Willermoz

Reve d'Or

Souvenir du President Carnot

I probably got 6 blooms total from Touch of Class this whole year, but each bloom was so pretty.

Easy Does It

Oh, Pat--I really like your Pearl d'or and Over the Moon--but especially Wollerton Old Hall. Wish I had room for Wollerton. Just out of curiosity, how big and how BS resistant has it proved to be? I already know that it is lovely, lovely, lovely. : )

Kate

Kate, I got Wollerton Old Hall at a local nursery's end of season sale last year. It wasn't in great shape from being in one of those small Austin containers all year, so instead of putting it in the ground, I potted it up to a 24 X 24 container. It was very cane hardy even though it was in a pot outside with no protection, and we had an unusually cold late winter/early spring with a lot of freeze/thaw issues. It put on a lot of new growth this year and is probably about 4 ft tall now, but only 2 ft wide. I'm sure it would be bigger if it was in the ground, but I don't want to plant it until I'm sure I will keep it. It stayed defoliated from bs most of the season, so it's on probation. In its defense, our bs pressure is probably higher than yours, and it was a terrible year for bs & such here (even my drift roses suffered some). STRONG fragrance (almost too strong...at times seemed too overpowering of an anise/myrrh/licorice scent), beautiful blooms on basically thornless canes, so I'm giving it another year in the pot to see if disease resistance improves. On the other hand, Perle d'Or has been bulletproof for me so far (third year in my garden)...prolific bloomer with excellent disease resistance! I would strongly suggest it if you have a space become available for it.

My favorite orange rose.

There are so many gorgeous roses on here, I am falling in love with these roses! Ingrid, is your Reve d'Or always that beautiful? I love it! James, what a beautiful picture of Vavoom, the catalog pictures aren't that pretty, love yours! There are so many I love, Buff Beauty, Apricot Drift, Valencia, Easy Does It, Molineux, really too many to list! I appreciate everyone of you for posting your pictures!

Thanks to all of you. My dh has wanted an orange rose for our garden and there are so many great ones here.

James, he really liked your Vavoom! I'm curious about how it grows for you there in the San Franscisco Bay area.... shape and size?... special needs it has?... blooming period and blossom form? (I'm often suspicious about catalogue photos.) We live along a river on the Connecticut coast and get strong winter winds with the winter snow, etc.

So many lovely apricot roses! I already have too many apricots on my wish list. But I especially like Ingrid's collection. Orange Dawn is really pretty - I haven't heard of that one before! And such charming shots of Buff Beauty and Golden Buddha.

You know... no one does an apricot like David Austin in my opinion. I love them all, in my garden and everyone else's.

Pat, every picture you posted is wonderful. I always love seeing your garden.

Here is Colette (pretty sure anyway):

Comte de Champagne

Ghislaine de Feligonde

And my most shocking rose of all! Rainbow Niagara.

I have several oranges, all but Rainbow Niagara fade to a nice apricot.

Belvedere

Floral Fairy Tale

Rainbow Niagara

Tamora

Great roses everyone! Your "Easy Does It" pat_bamaz7 kknocked my socks off...lol...Hope ours looks that well in the future...

Wow, Mossy!!! I love, love, love your Belvedere!!!!!

Such lovely oranges!

Carol

Vavoom,

Thanks so much, James, for your comments. Vavoom is a magnificent rose!

While doing more research on Vavoom, I've read other complaints about its issues with blackspot. Sadly, that fact alone has caused me to take Vavoom off "the list."

We live at the edge of a tidal river that leads into Long Island Sound. Our river is a magnet for wildlife, especially birds, so are very careful about runoff in our yard. We don't fertilize or spray our gardens.

And obviously, moisture and mists coming off the river can add to the blackspot issue even though we avoid overhead watering....years ago my dh put in an underground sprinkler system with individual drip lines that can be repositioned under specific plants.

Moliep

Oh my, Vavoom is so lovely. I got Vavoom from Brecks sale late last spring and while it is growing well I have as of yet seen a single bloom. I hope her blooms turn out to be as pretty as these are.

Oh, so many beautiful Orange roses here! I'm glad to see a few of the new roses I just ordered here (Tamora, Molineux), and Pat's Buff Beauty is to die for!

edit:. I'm waiting to talk to Chamblee to add Buff Beauty to my online order right now...

such beautiful roses everyone!

I love orange and apricot roses! Easy does it - is my favorite! But mine is steel a baby.

Here are some other

Folklor

Arizona

Happy Chappy, groundcover

I don't actually know the names of most of my oranges - they are basement bargain job lots and were unlabelled.

Some I do though.

A few more.

Fduk, your unknown rose above Alexander reminds me of Emilien Guillot. The ruffled one above it is lovely too..... Wish we knew the names.

Fduk, I loooove your first unknown rose! It is all frilly and with a beautiful blend of colours! Wish I knew what it was :-)

This is my westerland climber. It's only a year old and it's up to the top of a two meter wall this season :)

I think I only have two in my garden now so will show some that I no longer have.

Was one of my favorites, lovely fragrance. Apricot Nectar

And a few more. Enchanted Autumn

I didn't see About Face or Anna's Promise, so here's ours.

About Face

More orange than apricot...Pretentious Nina

Whiskey - love the ruffles :)

Mossy your Floral Fairy Tale photo put it on my list. How is for disease resistance and repeat?

Here are some Gold Medal blooms I cut yesterday, along with some nice hips. It makes a good fall arrangement.

Love the combo of flowers and hips Buford...don't see it very often.

James, love Pretentious Nina - where did you purchase it? Thanks.......

teka2 - Floral Fairy Tale is very disease resistant, and is my best repeater, I highly recommend it.
