Did Someone Say Orange? (Part Un)



Rosa floribunda, Singin' in the Rain.

The grower's catalog describes its color as cinnamon-apricot. (Apricot? Maybe. Cinnamon? No, no, no.)

This garden specimen is a pale orange with pink-streaked edges. The color is strongest when the flower first opens and bleaches out as the bloom ages.

Ah Ha!
That looks like a few I have inherited here. (I really need to replace the battery for my camera. Maybe by next year.)
