2020 Color Threads: ORANGE/APRICOT Roses
I don’t have very many in this color class, but I do like them
EASY DOES IT - A favorite
Late season EDI bloom
CRAZY LOVE - Hope this one does good in 2020
LADY OF SHALOTT - Love the color of this one, should probably get another one and plant it in a different spot, hopefully it won’t have RMV!

SHow off your Orange/Apricot Roses!
Comments (21)Beth, you are so right--should have done apricot and orange separately. But since I grow almost none of either one, how was I to know you folks had gone a bit nuts over apricot and orange. I didn't even know there were that many oranges and apricots! (You folks must have "loud" gardens--ha!) Think we are headed for Orange/Apricot, Part II, don't you? Well, let me pick out a few of my favorites upthread. Cheshire and South Africa are lovely--I like golden tones, with some apricot highlights. Honey Perfume belongs in there too. Eureka falls into that golden category also, Beth--and Marilyn Monroe is lovely in her own way also. Don't know quite what to say about a rose like Hot Romance however--it is a gorgeous rose, but I can't imagine it in my garden. Same with Granada and Dolly Parton and Playboy--absolutely breaktaking--but don't they dominate everything within 20 ft? Pat Austin too. I mean like, Wow!! aren't they just too, too stunning? I guess I incline more to roses like Cherish or The CoxSwain. Tammy, that sure is a nice photo of Memerized. Guess I'm going to have to work on my orange appreciation! But don't let my attitude slow you down--pile on the orange! Best way to get me used to it! LOL Kate...See MoreFragrant Orange/Apricot rose ID
Comments (0)Hi, A friend of mine grows this beautiful rose but she doesn't know the name. I would love to identify it. It is very fragrant, a tall hybrid tea I think with frilled petals. The buds are reddish orange, almost striped but open to this apricot/orange colour. It keeps well. The foliage is large, matt green, mid yellow green colour and it has fine thorns. Does anyone know who she is? I live in Australia and these are quite old roses, at least ten years. Regards Susie Image link:...See MoreShow your orange, apricot roses, etc.
Comments (40)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 NectarThis was a Home Depot body end of season sale bag and didn't make it long, but I did get a couple good shots. Brandy: Another of my favorites and I think I need to get this one again.

Comments (26)Thanks for the positive comments folks, and glad it helps picture apricots with other colors. I totally agree with Moses on Sweet Fragrance, and I rank that rose in my top 10 of 1000 roses. It dominates the apricots in the last picture posted above, and it is reliably hardy to my zone 4 pocket, blooms all season, drops petals cleanly, stays that saturated apricot color, and is absolutely hardy. All it's missing to me is fragrance, and that might be my nose (though my daughter can't smell it either). I have had less winter survival from Apricot Candy but I like the blooms. Peach Swirl is one I'm eagerly anticipating this spring. Another intriguing apricot just out this past season is Frida Kahlo. It only bloomed a few times while getting settled in but what it had was just lovely. Cynthia...See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
