Peach and Apricot roses
This is such a great color category for me. I have four separate peaches and cream beds because there are so many roses that fit into this group because of fading.

Comments (6)Yes, you want the Advanced Search function at Helpmefind.com. Click on "Class" and select "Hybrid Tea", then "Color" and select "peach" or "Apricot" (what some think of as "peach" others think "apricot"). One popular rose in that color is Just Joey....See MoreDo you buy the same color over and over?
Comments (66)Yep, apricot, soft peachy blends and changeable colors (think Tamora, Gruss an Aachen, Crepuscule, Reve d'or.) Thought I didn't care for yellow at all but found I'm a sucker for "yellows" with a strong peachy, apricot or golden hue (think Golden Celebration, Amber Queen.) Also thought I didn't like white roses but am currently obsessed with them....though I always seem to gravitate to the ones with a blush of other color to them (Madame Alfred Carriere, La Biche.) I've recently discovered a passion for purple roses and am wanting to try a few of the dark purplish/wine/crimson reds, though in general red roses don't do a thing for me. Pink always seems to end up sprinkled in there, simply because so many roses are pink. After writing this, I realize I have more diversity than I thought and am headed for even more, which is good!! When I started out, I had a bunch of apricot and pale blends and a wish list of even more from that same area....See MoreApricot / Peach Rose
Comments (20)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)....See MoreLady of Shalott companion
Comments (20)Let me answer some of the questions in 1 post: My Lady of Shalott is about 4'x4' and I have a similar space that I am looking to fill with another rose. I have a yellow Doris Day next to it right now that I'm planning to move because it is a black spot magnet for me. The color combination of the Doris Day yellow and peach/orange is not soothing to my eye. I feel that another yellow rose would yield the same result. The backdrop to the Lady of Shalott is a white wall so a white rose would wash out. I have 4 Munstead Woods. It is one of my favorite roses. 3 of the Munstead Woods are in containers and I just planted one in the ground this year. The one in the ground is kind puny although It has only been one year, but I wonder if the MW's size would be dwarfed by the Lady of Shalott. I would appreciate views on this one because I would be willing to plant another Munstead Wood. I have Ebb Tide, Twilight Zone and Violet's Pride elsewhere in my garden. I guess I could plant another one next to the Lady of Shalott. I would lean towards Twilight Zone or Ebb Tide because their color is a dark purple....See Moreoursteelers 8B PNW

Tahitian Sunset, before it got gall. Still want to replace it.

Desiree again because its a great rose
Louise Clements in the foreground; until this year she was small so Lagerfeld and Twilight Zone were constantly trying to stral her thunder. Ill get better pics now that she three up dome bigger, more more sturdy canes. She goes from orange to peach in spring and orange to pink in summer. Another great rose.
Ok I lied, found a better pic of Louise.

Jude of course, although he tends to go beige on me in summer with my full sun location

3 months agoHere's some more love for 'Prairie Sunrise'. Mine has only been in the ground for two seasons (it took two seasons before that to grow up to planting size from a band). So far, it's stayed short (less than 3 feet) but it's a steadily blooming plant and even had blooms on it at Christmas time this year. The blooms can be quite large and elaborate, especially in cooler weather.
