Color families in this garden

Some roses here are bi-colors or blends, so this page groups them by the dominant color shown in each rose profile rather than by every accent tone in the bloom.

Purple

A small but distinctive group with silver-lilac tones that stand out in the beds.

2 roses

Bronze & Brown

Unusual smoky and bronze tones do not fit neatly into the standard rose color buckets, so they deserve their own group.

1 rose

Highlights

A few color anchors

Representative roses that help define the overall color palette of the garden.

Honor

White

Honor

A clean white exhibition-style rose that sets the tone for the lightest end of the collection.

Heritage

Pink

Heritage

Soft pink, petal-filled blooms that represent the strongest color family in the garden.

Fragrant Cloud

Red

Fragrant Cloud

One of the garden's most saturated reds, with fragrance strong enough to merit its own reputation.

Michaelangelo

Yellow

Michaelangelo

A strong golden yellow that anchors the warm end of the garden without drifting into orange.

Abraham Darby

Apricot / Orange

Abraham Darby

Apricot blend blooms that show why a dedicated warm-toned section works better than forcing these roses into yellow.

Silver Star

Purple

Silver Star

Its lavender-lilac tone gives the page a needed cool counterpoint.

Distant Drums

Bronze / Brown

Distant Drums

An outlier in the best way: smoky bronze tones that justify a category beyond the usual rose-color shorthand.

LivinEasy

Apricot / Orange

LivinEasy

Bright apricot-orange clusters that make the warm palette feel lively rather than muted.
