Pat Austin-her blooms remind me of a waterlily. Tree frogs love hiding in her blooms and eating thrips and other bugs.

Crepuscule

I have to go look at the tag to see what this is lol..ok I checked, its Anna's Promise

Evelyn sometimes apricot sometimes more pink. She's kinda in between here.

Crown Princess Margaret..usually more orange but in heat I get an apricot/buff ombre effect going on

Jude the Obscure..I need 4 more of these!

Jude the Obscure ..continued..

Lady of Shallot

Abe Darby being Mr peachy

I agree Sara Ann , these are so beautiful ! I think what makes apricots so pretty is they can vary a lot based on weather .

sultry yours are all so beautiful but I really loveeee the Spanish moss hanging from your tree!! That sings to my heart. When we moved to the south I thought we would be warm enough for it but unfortunately we aren't south enough. I just love it so much .

What a perfect perle d or bloom Steven !! I have it also, such a pretty rose.

Sara Ann I love your Tahitian sunset. Gorgeous!!

I have a lot of apricots coming next year. I'm really excited for the impressionist. Also Pali delbard , lady of the mist , pearlie Mae, Bathsheba, roahld Dahl , lark ascending , sweet francis, star of the republic, and la park, ghislane de feligonde and probably one or two more . Can't wait !

I think this is easy does it , taken at cheekwood

Soul sister - I can't wait to see it bloom again !

Lady of shallot

Lovely!!!

Sara-Ann - I love your Granada, America, Crazy Love and Cinnamon Dolce!!! Especially CD!!!

Steven - your Heleln Hayes looks amazing!!!

Sultry - I love your CPM, JtO and TG!!! Sumptuous!!

Lilyfinch - wow!! I love your TG and Soul Sister!

Valencia - after a hail storm, it had to be propped up.

Parfum de Grasse - usually it's more orange

Evelyn

Orange / Apricot is my weakness. Now I want Medallion, Soul Sister, Remember Me and Sunstruck. Ha!

Drooooooool

that is all.

I love everyone’s roses in this category, keep them comin’!

I have several roses that pick up strong apricot hues at times, depending on the weather.

Buff Beauty (HM)--usually more buff to neutral colored, but sometimes gets quite apricot as seen in this pic.

Lady of Shalott (Austin shrub)--sometimes quite orangish!

But look at the apricot colors on this Lady of Shalott!

Molineux (Austin shrub) -- sometimes has very strong apricot centers.

Elle (HT)--sometimes has strong apricot hues, depending on the weather.

Well Being (Harness shrub)--often has light apricot flushes around the outer edges of the blooms when they first open--quite lovely. Then it turns a rich gold yellow.

I agree with Sara-Ann--there is something special about the color blends ranging from yellow to gold to apricot to orange that create truly wonderful effects, especially when the apricot highlights, for instance, come and go depending on the age of the blooms or the weather. Like, wow!

Everyone’s roses are so gorgeous, need to see some more in this color range.

Here’s an open bloom of Tahitian Sunset, really enjoyed the blooms on this one, which is a new one for me

This is my favorite color group and I have to restrain myself from buying too many peaches and apricots. Here are a few of mine.

Really loving that JtO!

Sara-Ann, I thought Crazy Love was too orangey for me, but yours is such a rosey orange, I need it after all. What colors do you have yours planted next to?

Sultry_Jasmine_nights, your moss draped trees are the perfect romantic backdrop. You surely must sit out there and sip sweet tea and write poetry.

Carol, you always say the nicest things.

Probably my favorite rose of all through the years - Adolph Horstman, known here as "Addie"..

Flowersaremusic, not only do you have some incredible roses, you are a wonderful photographer. Hard to pick a favorite, they are all so beautiful.

Mossy, holy moly, Addy is my kind of orange. I think I need that rose.

I echo everything Kristine said.I didn't think I liked orange, I stand corrected.

Flowersaremusic - awww...you are so sweet!! :)

Mossy - oh Mossy!!!! I love your Addie!!! The last picture is beyond beautiful!!!

Carol

I just looked up the Adolf Horst man rose. Edmonds carries it and with your great review Mossy, I think I will add that to my spring order.

How tall does it get for you ?

I love the orange with a pink tinge to it.

I'm glad you all like Addie, I just ordered his replacement from Edmonds myself. I lost it to an accident several years ago, and I have looked for a similar rose ever since, but have never seen one that could measure up, so I am so happy with myself for having ordered it again It never grew too tall for me, about 5' I'd say, and not very wide, a typical hybrid tea shape. It's colors can range widely, which I love.

(Sorry, I hit the wrong key)

Mossy , is it fragrant too ? Ugh that's so beautiful. Guys I'm gonna have to pick up a side job or stop checking the forums ! Lol

Is that all the same rose? Lily, I agree with you, I better look for a second job lol

I don't recall getting much fragrance from it, but my nose doesn't work well at all, they have to be pretty strong before I will smell it.

Mossy, you have created a rose frenzy

Mossy - the last picture is awesome!!! I would love to get this rose!

Carol

Wow!!! There are pretty roses in this thread...

Sonia Rykiel was such a dud for me, but looking at the images, FAM, I think giving it a go again is in my future...

Loving so many, especially the Lady of Shallots.

Cl. America

Carding Mill

William Morris..looking a little less apricot than usual..

So many gorgeous roses everyone! flowersaremusic, my Crazy Love is in a pot right now, it is close to some light yellow and others roses in its color range.

Desertgarden, Sonia Rykiel was still in her little pot from the nursery when she produced that blossom in the pic above. Once I got her in the ground, she only grew in size. That one bloom was big and had a nice fragrance.

Thanks, Sara-Ann, for sharing the roses around your Crazy Love. I think it would be nice planted near lavender or purple, but yellow sounds like a good companion, too. I just don't have many yellows.

Orange Crush Cl

I have it in a pot right now in my back yard. I was mainly just concentrating on the bushes themselves last season since I had so many new ones. Hopefully this upcoming season I’ll figure out which roses it needs to be next to. Your idea sounds lovely, flowersandmusic.
