    Thank you so much for all of your replies.  I am enjoying your recommendations and researching which I prefer. I have found it interesting that they can appear orange in some sites and yellow in others. 
    My Roald Dahl David Austin rose is yellow in hot weather and orange in colder times, so it's entirely possible to get a range of colours. 
    My Lady of Shalott is always orange though. I highly recommend both of these roses!

    Regarding colour, I have to say a lot of roses which are categorised as orange actually show colour ranging from apricot to orange depending on sun and temperature. Also they look more orange in photos than in real life. I have all the roses mentioned in this thread except Easy does it and I love them all for various reasons but Super Trouper is the only one which is bright true orange all the time.

    I don’t detect much scent from Lady of Shallot either, but Lady Emma Hamilton’s is superb. I have Super Trouper too and it’s the closest I have got to a true orange rose. Most develop pronounced pink streaks and spots in hot weather, ST didn’t, although it did verge toward coral, so I’m thinking of moving it to a shadier position.

    Your CPM is a beautiful shape of bloom @JessicaS. Edhelka also rates Chippendale, another one to look up!
