Pink and orange do not occur together in roses very frequently; but when they do, the results can be stunning. The collision of colors produces a whole range of pastel colors that might include pale apricot, shell pink, salmon, coral, and buff. The effect appears to be caused by a rose producing a very stable pink pigment and a very unstable yellow pigment. New petals, especially at the bases have the yellow pigment and appear orange. Older petals, especially those exposed to the sun remain pink. Not all the roses in this list adhere closely to this ideal. One or two may rarely show the yellow pigment, for instance.
The ARS ratings suggest that this is a color category that is best left to growers who can coddle roses; none of these roses seems unusually well suited to poor conditions and neglect. Still, for those who are good at rose gardening this category offers some unique looks. Pictured is Day Breaker, a floribunda that reliably produces high centered flowers.
