| I'm relatively new to roses but I love them! I'm trying to expand my rose garden to include orange. I want a very bright eye popping true orange. My local garden center recommended Carey Grant. For those that have this rose how would you describe its orange color? |

| Carey Grant is a BRIGHT orange, when it blooms. Very short bush, very slow repeat. But when it blooms, WOW!! You have no trouble finding it in the garden. There are better bright oranges out there. |

| 'Cary Grant' reminds me of the old Crayola color "red orange" -- a saturated orange without brassy yellow undertones. I love the color, and I love the rose. The fragrant blooms have good form, great substance, and better than average vase life. In my garden the bush has few disease issues. Contrary to some reports, I find CG to have good heat tolerance. On the negative side: Be careful at pruning time. Those prickles can be vicious. |
