Favorite Orange / Apricot?

We haven't done this colour yet, so what is your favorite?
I have Folklore, the orange really stands out.

Oh Happy!! What question!! Can I start with two?! Just Joey and Crepuscule! The scent from Just Joey is just wonderful and Crepuscule - I think I sound like a "doofus" when I try to describe the colours of this amazing rose! It's scent in the evening and early morning is wonderful! I was surprised to learn, when I delved into it's history, it had been around since early 1900's. It has only come into it's own recently. What a shame, people don't know what they've been missing!!  

I like Warm Wishes ،Corso and the delbar France Libre .Copper gem and Ashram and Cannes festival a nice to.

Also Souvenir de Madame Leonie Viennot - beautiful - and Brandy!
Just looked at Ashram and copper Gem, dannyboy. They too are lovely.

Just Joey has to be one of the loveliest creatures ever to appear on a stem. Guaranteed to bring a smile to the lips of the most po-faced passerby. And then it delivers its perfume punch - more of a silky caress, actually. God, I adore this one.

Which is why I wish the hybridisers would give it a reboot. I suspect that its decreasing vigor over time may have something to do with the huge and indiscriminate cloning of this variety to meet market demand back in its heyday. in any case, it needs revitalisation: Just Joey - Just Amazing.

okay I have few

So pleased you started this Colour Topic Happy Roses - I just love these colours.
Jordan your Roses are beautiful, Do Love your David Austin's.
I have planted several (Dare I Say 'David Austin's along my fence). The ones I chose have grown beautifully being trained as climbers and bloom all year round. On the fence I have planted - Abraham Darby, William Morris, I do have others there but, too much pink in them to call them Orange/Apricot.
I also have - David Austin's Tea Clipper and Jude the Obscure as a bushes.
And - Albertine, a very prickly Wichurana Rambler which is absolutely beautiful at the moment, it is more Apricot than Pink (as the photo looks here)..

Paul how do you find Magic Sunset have been told not the best of grower.Cheers

No problem Dimity, I do love apricot ,though I don't have any at the moment, your David Austins are lovely, they are such pretty roses, they kind of remind me of ruffled tissue paper in a good way, hard to explain.

Betsy, Just Joey is Just Amazing
Silky, Oh I do love Crepescule & Jessika
Paul, Are you happy with Slim Dusty, I have a friend who said it got terrible Black Spot.
Jordan, You are a Friend for life if you Love David Austin Roses. Grace & Leander are so pretty, the colours so delicate.
Actually this is a Lovely colour isn't it...  
Thanks for Sharing....  

silky, is your Crepuscule flowering now?  You must have had better weather than me!!  I'm S.E. Melbourne. and mine in only just starting to break it's buds.  
Your photos are lovely! Hope my Apricot Nectar is as good as yours!

Sue they are photos from last year. Lol. Nothing in my garden is flowering yet, rosewise. Won't be long though!
Sorry if my pics were misleading.

Could I ask if any of you have Cornelia and does she loose all her leaves for you in Winter. Mine completely defoliates.
But now it is beautiful, full of buds again. Your Roses may be slower to flower but you will have them hold a lot longer than us when they do come on.  
You Lucky People.

Silky, it's me that should be apologizing to you for thinking your roses are now in flower!! LOL They are still lovely photos though!  LOL

Thanks Sue.

Thanks Jordan, Pleased to see it wasn't something I had done to it. Isn't she beautiful, at the moment she is blooming away, enjoying living with a wayward Currant Tomato in a symbiotic relationship.
Have a Super Day Everyone..
