Help ID this orange beauty, please?

16 years ago

I found this in the Sonoma town square rose garden last month, and would love to grow it. If anyone knows what it is or where I can buy it, I'll be very grateful. It was fragrant; don't know how thorny it was. The colors shown in the photo aren't as intense/strong as in real life -- the orange and yellow colors were much more vibrant. It had interesting petals with thin blush-colored margins; the blush color was present on the petals' reverse side, too. Thanks!

Could it be Tango?

Here is a link that might be useful: Tango at HMF

Oh, I think that might be the one! I'm so glad that I came back to check this post -- thank you both! Now I just have to find a good place to buy it -- can't wait. Thanks again, very very much.

Well, now I know the name (that's a relief), but I'm not finding any sources -- online or otherwise -- for buying it. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I'd love to have them. Thanks (again!)!

Try the link below. Just enter the name of your rose in the box and click "Search" (or just hit the Enter key).

It will return a list of roses to you. Then you can click on the name and it will give you specifics and photos about the rose.

Cheers!

Thank you, Lionheart. Yes, the helpmefind site has a lot of nice photos of this rose, as well as various bits of information. But the only US seller shown is Berkeley Horticultural Nursery; but BHN's own website doesn't show it as one of their offerings. So I'm still looking! It's such a pretty thing; can't imagine why it's not offered for sale more widely.

Thanks!

Berkeley Hort doesn't grow its own rose stock, so they have to be getting it from somewhere (probably wholesale, of course). You could call them and ask -- it might give you a lead. Of course it's not a good time of year to find things in stock in general. Berkeley Hort will (or used to) take hold requests for when something came in -- I don't know if they do mail order or will hold things for mail order. But call -- ask.

I lived within a few blocks of the Hort for about 11 years and it is the Happiest Place on Earth. When my dogs got out of the yard (once each) they both headed down to the Hort to score a cookie from the counter staff.
