Are there any clematis that have orange flowers?  or any other orange climbers?

You can certainly get climbing Nasturtiums in vivid orange.  And I think there might be a Chilean Glory Vine in orange too.

Chilean Glory Flower Yes! Suttons packet says - "scarlet, carmine and yellow flowers". It's a bit late to sow them now but I can send you some seeds if you want.

Lonicera ciliosa, or as commonly known, honeysuckle, evergreen, orange flowers, hardy.

An added bonus, boil up a few stems and rub it on your head. It is supposed to make your hair grow. It might not be so good if it makes you are a redhead,  as  ginger is all right for a party but not really suitable for everyday use. ;D

Tithonia is a great half-hardy annual. Cactus flower zinnias come in orange too. Also Campsis radicans 'madame Galen' is the most brilliant rampant climber with orange flowers. Wonderful plant.

If you want a orange garden there is a lot to choose from:
-Hieracium aurantiacum; - Physalis alkekengi ( within a few years you will have a whole garden with them, like me ;D); - there is an Euphorbia griffithii that has orange leaves around yellow flowers; - Trollius   europaeus; - Knipholia has orange ones; - Alstroemeria aurantiaca; Ligularia palmatiloba and of course the orange coloured Tithonia ( wished I had that one in my garden >:(. ).

Oh and there are some Dahlias as well: - Dahlia 'Saint Saens'; and 'Ludwig Helfert'and 'Margareth Kleene', they are orange; - and the Campsis tagliabuana 'Madame Galen'with flowers like trumpets, really beautiful; - and the Lonicera Belgica, smels gorgious at night :D...............................
