Orange and Coral roses

So yesterday someone mentioned doing hot colors for the people locked in the frozen embrace of winter so here we go. I hope you all have a lot of orange and coral to brighten our day.

Let’s not include peach, we’ll do that tomorrow!

    I don’t post much but really enjoy the color threads. Chic is a coral-pink according to HMF so I’m adding it here.

    This is odd: Houzz does all kinds of funny things, but this is a first for me. I posted a comment yesterday on the “peach” thread, and it posted fine. But now it won’t let me post to that thread anymore. If I click on the comment box, it takes me back to the Houzz home page. So I’m posting on here to correct the post with my picture. I got the name wrong- my picture was Star of the Republic. NOT Spirit of the Republic. And yes, it is a Mike Shoup rose and a very nice one in my garden.

    Not many choices in this color palette for my zone 3a, but Olds College is fantastic:

    There I was, looking for yellow roses, and found I had neglected one of the most striking orange roses of all, 'Etoile de Feu'!



  • 2 years ago

    Ooh, I like that one catspa! I’ve never heard of it, any details?

  • 2 years ago

    @oursteelers 8B PNW 'Etoile de Feu' is a Pernetiana dating from 1921 that I got from Vintage. It grows well on its own roots, with moderate vigor (4' tall, 3' wide). Being a Pernetiana, it is very susceptible to blackspot, but that isn't much of an issue here. Good bloomer that tolerates heat very well and every bloom is such a charming melange of subtle, warm tones and substance. I've had it a long time and it is wonderful. HMF listing -- I checked RVR, but they seem to have lost theirs, though Burlington and Greenmantle are also listed as vendors. Too good a variety to lose -- I guess I'll try to root a back-up this year.

    Blackspot is a problem here but I still might give it a try.

    Double Ambre is not mine yet...

    I wish more places would carry Jalbert roses. If I could buy this rose , photos would be plastered all over Roses Forum.

    @User - Jackson & Perkins is selling Double Ambre this year. I’m very excited for this one, too. I missed out on getting it last year from All My Thyme and they’re not selling it this year. Chamblees appears to be carrying it as well but I won’t order from them ever again after what happened last year.

    Dave5bWY THANKS ! last year I saw Double Ambre at All My Thyme too and didn't know what i was looking at.

    I've never bought from Jackson & Perkins , gotta check them out .

  • 2 years ago

    That's disappointing, J & P's Double Ambre is grafted, I need own root.

    Well, it won't be the first rose I had to wait a long time for.

  • 2 years ago

    Berry, could you get Double Ambre grafted, take cuttings from it and then toss the grafted one?

  • 2 years ago
    last modified: 2 years ago

    oursteelers it's a thought... my history of propagating roses has been 99 % success at failing. One rose start made it long enough for me to move and killed it.

    i'm considering just buying Double Ambre and figuring out the details later.

    This was a severely cold Winter my garden was not very well prepared for. Last year was no where near as cold and Eden died back to the ground. I'm glad it was own root , over the Summer Eden grew back taller than before. I just can't out smart these roses, they do what they want in spite my efforts.

    This might not be the thread on which to ask, but have folks had experience with Sundowner? (Certified is selling as bareroot bagged plants at our box store right now.)

  • 2 years ago

    Philip

    I have bought those Certified body bags five times--not ONE was correctly labeled.

    You will get a Certified Rose, so you can go on the website and figure out what it is, but it's never what it's labeled.

    So you're kind of playing roulette even if it is something you wanted

    RSM J5 (aka "Prairie Magic") by Henry Marshall, 1973. This is an Agriculture Canada hybrid, bred from 'Hazeldean' and a proprietary hybrid involving a lot of R. arkansana in its pedigree. RSM J5 was never commercially released. It flowers copiously for about 4 weeks in very early spring. In fact, its often the first rose to bloom here. It's "fruit salad" coloring is reminiscent of some of the "orange" Teas.

    This is a very healthy shrub (no disease whatsoever), and never once suffered any freeze damage, not even in 2015 when temps went to MINUS 10F for over a week.



  • 2 years ago

    @phillipatx In the case of Certified Roses, odds are extremely high that the rose you buy will have one or more viruses, and the odds are also very high that you will not get the rose represented by the label. They are notorious for these two issues.

    There's a reason these are the cheapest roses on the market.

  • 2 years ago

    I can't believe all the secret beauties you have Paul. I think the northern climes especially would have loved that hardy orange rose. 4 weeks was about how long Summer was anyway in Alaska.

    @Sheila Funny thing is - I cannot remember who I got RSM J5 from. It might have come from Gregg Lowery, but I'm not sure. It's one of my favorite "oddball" roses.

    Sad that it's not sold anywhere here in the US. I've never tried to propagate it - maybe it's easy? (I doubt that)

  • 2 years ago

    I think Hazeldean is very difficult to root. That one (which I have) is impossible to find too in the US, so another reason to miss Vintage roses, and Pickering etc. I think Canada got funding cutbacks too in their rose breeding research stations.

    I saw some ugly roses in Alaska where HTs were overwintered in pots and it was all really pathetic, when they could have been growing hardy roses outside in the ground. They were a trick to find.

  • 2 years ago

    I like Prairie Magic.

    Have to include the Buck , Honeysweet.

    Here is a flora danica rose (from Susan, lovely woman!) with a lisianthus!


  • 10 months ago

    p.s. @Vaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley - how did Well Being work out for you?

  • 10 months ago

    It was a treat going back through all the previous posts. :)


    Deborah - wow!!

  • 10 months ago

    Agreed rosecanadian! They’re all so beautiful! I planted Reminiscent Coral last year, it survived our 3a winter and bloomed for the first time this year. I’m in love!




  • 10 months ago

    Might as well add a new one: this is Outrageous in my orange border this evening.

  • 10 months ago

    Mazerolm - Wow! It survived zone 3! I'm surprised. I love the first picture!! :) :)


    Judi - mmmm...I love dark orange.


  • 10 months ago

    Judi, yowza on that Outrageous... spectacular!

  • 10 months ago

    Judi -- love that smokey color in the orange! I need to know more about Outrageous!

  • 10 months ago

    Thanks, Susan and Deborah. You might want to bear in mind that this photo was taken at dusk, so that makes it look just a bit more rich than it does in broad daylight. But this rose has really wowed me when it blooms. It hasn’t been a fast growing plant( first season from bare root this spring), but the blooms have a glow to them that is really nice, not harsh.

    Easy Does It


  • 10 months ago

    Forever - love that color....very vivid for Easy Does It, isn't it? :)

  • 10 months ago

    Carol, mine is usually more orange, but can tend a bit towards the pink, like forever's. Here's a nice deep one with Diane's owl eyes :-D


  • 10 months ago

    Oh, my!!! SWOOON!!!!

  • 10 months ago

    @DDinSB (Z10b Coastal CA), just noticing your query! I didnt ger WB as she wasnt available afer all. Maybe someday. Too many roses an Id like them all! Thanks for asking.🙂

  • 10 months ago

    At the rose auction I got this free cutting but the tag was removed. Any chance one of you know which rose this is?


  • 10 months ago

    What a beauty! I feel like I should be able to name at least one rose with coral coloring, but it escapes me.

  • 10 months ago

    Z10, can you contact the folks at the rose auction and ask with this picture? I'd assume they know what free cuttings were offerred (since you said the tag was removed). Unless this was one of those truly "noIDs" where the provider lost the tag and had no idea what it was. Just a thought.

    Coming to the end of fall, Easy Does It turns into deep red, which is also very beautiful still
