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.

We recommend six of the best orange roses, below.

Rosa 'Lady Emma Hamilton'

Rosa 'Lady Emma Hamilton' bears dark red buds that open to orange flowers with a fruity fragrance. With an upright growth habit, it's a good choice for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, but it also works in more formal settings, such as a rose bed.
