Orange You Glad We Said Orange?

Orange is a one of my favorite colors in the garden.  Every year I search for brilliant orange flowers to add to perennial beds,  as annual color or as a delightful burst in containers.  And roses?  Who wants traditional red when shades of orange are abundant and are capable of exciting the senses of sight and smell.  Orange roses produce some of the most aromatic blooms that will certainly add to the joy that is your landscape.
