Question
My fiance is having a horrible time trying to find the right rose for our floral arangements for our wedding.  Our colors are chocolate and burnt orange.  We have seen some pictures of the burnt orange rose that we want, but it doesn't include the name.  Can you please let me know of any burnt orange roses that exist so that we can tell our florist the name?  Your expertise would really help us out.  Thanks!

Answer
I am only knowledgeable about the roses that a person grows in the garden and they are not the same as a florist rose. Florists get their roses from South America, Holland, Germany etc The best way to make sure you have the colour you want is to go to a paint store and pick out the colour chip that is exactly the colour you want. Also make sure you get the chocolate colour also. Trying to explain to someone in a shop never works because they may see colour a different way then you do. A paint chip saves you a lot of explaining. They will have the books and know where to get the roses you want for you. Hope this helps.
