The delicate peach and apricot colors can be enjoyed throughout the season and blends well with the other warm or hot colors; red, golden, and yellow. Roses with peach or apricot flowers are not as common as other colors, so the key to enjoying the color is planting a variety of different types of blooming plants including flowering annuals, grasses, perennials, shrubs and vines that bloom at different times in spring, summer and autumn.
An interesting new combination that adds more flower power in the garden is growing the new, compact Clematis vines among other landscape plants. Having Clematis vine flowers sprinkled among the bright blossoms of rose plants is a lovely, striking blend.
