orange roses

hi everyone my name is troy and im new to rose talk I need help with purchasing the right plants for my garden . I want to plant something with orange flowers as a memorial to my 3 year old daughter kate who passed away from cancer last September . orange was her favourite colour but finding it hard to find the right plant . at the moment roses are my most likely option but I don't want anything tall, to around 1 metre would be perfect I live in western Sydney my area gets winter frosts and is exposed to the full hot sun also I have no experience with roses are their any breeds that are not deciduous. cheers troy

You will find France Libre a lovely rose........ plenty of blooms....can take the hot sun( mine does)

Welcome Troyser to Rosetalk, I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay.
Now for orange roses that only grow to around a metre, for me 2 come to mind straight away,,

A floribunda that fits your description would be Elizabeth of Glamis a rose bred by NZ legendary hybridiser Sam McGredy.

Hi Troyser, welcome to RoseTalk. I was sorry to hear about your daughter.

Wondering if perhaps a miniature rose might work for you, as it's a memorial for your little one? The thing about miniatures is they grow well in pots, so you would be able to take it with you if you ever move.

I don't know a whole lot about orange roses, or growing roses in sunny Sydney, but there's a lovely orange mini rose called 'Orange Honey' which has a light fruity fragrance, and would grow up to about 60cm - including the pot that would take the rose to about a metre high. Treloar's also carry two other orange mini's, one called 'Little Sunset' which is orange and yellow, and a very bright orange one called 'Holy Toledo'.

If you think a mini might suit I'm sure Bruce could tell you more, he's into the minis.

hi guys thanks for your posts I went over to green e roses at galston and ended up buying jubilee 150,s might be a touch taller growing than what I wanted but the colour was just awesome. the lady there so informative she was a massive help highly recommend

Well done Troyser, lovely looking rose

Welcome Troyser.  So sorry to hear about your little daughter.  Muscovyduckling has a point about miniature roses.  There are 2 which are rather lovely - "Little Sunset" and "Ellie".  Also, another beauty, a Floribunda is "Tequila Sunrise".  I do hope your roses bring you some peace.
Kind Regards. Sue

I have dealt with Brigitte and Klaus at green e nursery over many years and found them to be very obliging and helpful professionals.

Gday Troy I am only new here as well so Welcome ..& I am sorry to hear about your little Kate but what a wonderful way to remember her ... I have many roses planted in memory & go out & chat to them all the time... Im so glad you found your rose
