Orange roses to grow
Discover six of the best orange roses to grow, in our feature.
Orange roses come in a range of hues, varying in intensity. Some of the lighter cultivars are tinged with pink or yellow, making them ideal for delicate, subtle colour schemes. The deepest orange roses border on red, bringing heat and drama to border designs.
