If you are looking for a fresh look for your garden, try planting popular types of red and orange flowers. Red and orange flowers are very easy to spot in your yard and make your garden look sunny and bright. Plus, there are so many great red and orange flowers to choose from. You can definitely find some that match your style and gardening experience level.

Roses

Roses are not the easiest things to grow in your garden, but if you are willing to put in some time and effort they certainly have huge payoffs. Rose bushes come in nearly every color you can imagine and there are certainly dozens of varieties that come in red, orange, orange with a red lip, peach or some other combination of these colors, not to mention every shade from palest pink to deep scarlet.

Marigolds

Marigolds are extremely hardy and easy to grow and come in red, orange and red with orange tips or orange with red tips. These flowers bloom in the autumn and make excellent centerpieces for fall dinner parties. If you are just trying gardening for the first time, marigolds are a good beginner's plant for you to experiment with.

Tulips

Tulips bloom in the spring from bulbs and they come in hundreds of shades of red and orange. You can also find varieties that are both red and orange, peach with a frilly red lip, for example. In addition to many colors, tulips are nice because they also come in lots of shapes. You can find some hardier versions with fat, rounded petals or you can go for a more exotic version that has long, thin or curled petals.

Roses, marigolds and tulips will all add a bright pop of color to your yard and are an excellent choice for any garden.
