Meredith, are you looking for an orange and pink blend? I thought you were looking for solid-colored roses with the official "orange-pink" color designation, which we might describe as salmon or coral.


I don't think I am particular about whether it is solid or a blend. I just love that perfect balance of orange and pink that is so hard to find. I have tried roses because others have said they are coral or salmon only to have them be pink here. Like Christopher Marlowe, you can see in the pictures I posted it has no warmth to it at all. Aside from the tiny bit of yellow at the center. It is basically mauve here. So that also makes it hard because the roses are different colors in different areas.

I wonder what you all consider this roses color to be, in my mind it was that perfect color I was looking for. Maybe a tiny bit more to the peach side but I absolutely loved it!

Sweet Fragrance
