The best varieties of orange roses with names and photos

The first orange roses appeared in France at the beginning of the 20th century. They were obtained by cross-pollination of red, yellow, white varieties. The brightness and saturation of the color depended on the derivative base. In each group of roses you can find varieties with pink, yellow, and red tints; those with bright orange flowers are very popular. The care requirements for hybrids with unusual bud colors are the same as for all representatives of the group to which they belong.

Independent propagation is possible only by vegetative means; the seeds do not retain their characteristics.

Park

This classification includes tall roses up to 2.5 m, forming powerful bushes. They bloom profusely earlier than all representatives of the species, the period lasts about a month. They remain decorative until frost due to their numerous bright fruits and dense foliage. In Russia, only two orange varieties are grown: Consuela, with a pink tint of petals, and Valencia, with a bright, uniform color.

Park representatives are frost-resistant; winter shelter is not required

Standard roses

There are no standard varieties in nature; the “pink tree” is obtained through special pruning and budding. It is better to use garden rose hips as a rootstock; the bush is formed into one trunk and at a height of 1-1.5 m the buds of one or several orange varieties are grafted; it is better to take hybrid tea or floribunda. You can purchase an already formed plant; in nurseries, the Heinsohn’s Record species is used as a rootstock for standard yellow-red roses.

Features of cultivation

All orange varieties grow well in aerated, light, fertile, sandy-clay soil so that the root system always has enough moisture and air. They do not tolerate damp, heavy clay soil. They will also not grow in waterlogged, acidic or sandy soil.

Orange roses are light-loving, but it is bad when they are in the sun all day. They quickly fade, the color of the petals turns pale, and burns appear on the leaves. Therefore, you need to set aside a place so that during the midday heat the roses are in partial shade.

On the northern slopes or under a dense canopy of trees, the growing season slows down, growth decreases, flowers become smaller, and a weak plant often gets sick. The best option is a site protected from the north wind and facing south.

Conditions for caring for orange roses:

1. Constant loosening of the root circle to a depth of 10-15 cm to increase aeration and destroy weeds. Do not allow compaction on the soil surface.
2. Water with a large volume of water at the beginning of the season and after the first wave of flowering. The rest of the time, maintain optimal soil moisture.
3. It is recommended to mulch the bush with humus or compost; it will provide additional nutrition and prevent overheating of the root.
4. Formative pruning is carried out after planting, if necessary in the spring. Sanitary – in the fall before wintering and at the beginning of the season. At this time, frozen areas are removed.
5. For winter in cold climates, the bush is completely covered; in warm regions, it is enough to increase the layer of mulch.

The main condition for growing is the application of fertilizing:

• nitrogen (urea, sodium humate) - applied in May and at the end of July;
• phosphorus (superphosphate) – June-September;
• potassium sulfate - during budding and late autumn;
• calcium is necessary to normalize soil acidity (dolomite flour, ash, chalk). It is used in autumn and spring;
• throughout the growing season they are fed with microelements (boron, manganese, iron, magnesium).

Organics can be used in unlimited quantities. Ideally, a liquid product is used with each watering.

Conclusion

In terms of cultivation, orange roses do not differ from other representatives of the group to which they belong. In terms of beauty, duration of flowering, and delicate aroma, they rightfully occupy a leading place in the garden among ornamental plants.
