I want an oranger to be someone who works in an orangery, partly because I like the word orangery and partly because afaik it has no true rhymes in English on the grounds that "Blorengery" (place in which one grows Blorenges) and "porringery" (like a porringer) are almost certainly not in common usage, although I have heard ramblers use the terminology "Blorengey" (like the Blorenge).
