Oranges I have and like:
BOGOTA - but very slow grower - only blooms every other
year.
FIDDLESTICKS - just put this in last year. Saw monster bed

MALAGUENA - light orange
Ones I saw this year that were doing well in other's
gardens:
DOROTHY DAVIS - nice light orange
LACE LEGACY - bright orange
AVALON SUNSET - good bud count
