Click on "Berberis Orange Rocket" and then click on "More information".

If this is what you like and if it works with your color scheme then you should just go ahead and try it. If you read through these message boards you'll usually run across one constant refrain which is "if you don't like it just yank it out and plant something else". It's actually pretty good advice and everyone would be well-served by heeding it. The other two "Rocket" varieties ("Golden" and "Rosy" look pretty cool and I most definitely will be adding a trio of "Rosy Rockets" and I'm considering also adding a trio of "Golden Rockets" because their chartreuse foliage plays off nicely on a burgundy color scheme that I'm working on. Anyway, my advice would be to try the "Orange Rockets" but be aware that they have a pronounced vertical height with a quite narrow spread 51" x 16" so you might want to give some thought to what you might want to plant as companions. The grower lists the color as "coral-orange new foliage aging to mid green" and "coral-orange" is one of those colors that can be difficult to work into a color scheme. I did a search on a "coral" color scheme and the recommended colors are "gold, white, sea green, and turquoise (good luck on that one!)". Best wishes!
