ugh – i'm so frustrated. i loved the orange blossoms on vavoom, but this rose is getting the shovel. it is consistently deformed with teeny-tiny leaves with lots of disease. last summer it never got taller than about 18" tall, and almost no roses... i don't remember the vavoom being like this when we bought it (in pasadena). but now that we dug it up and moved it up the coast (and only a couple of miles from the ocean), it's never done well – maybe the move was too traumatic? but all the others (mostly english roses) have done fine. we'll have to find something else to replace it, but it's hard to find that orange. oh, well. (sad face...)

Maybe consider Lady Emma Hamilton although it's not quite the same orange. I haven't grown it, but it looks very nice.

Harold McMillan might work. Its an easier to grow, typical floribunda.
I prefer 'Caribbean'. It doesn't go quite into the "hot" colors, but the fade doesn't have garish red in it like most of the orange roses do. Also, its a consistent bloomer over the summer, where many large-flowered roses are not once it heats up.
