why php and html mixed code is not working?

I tried to write this simple code but it's not working. This is my code...

    <html>
    <body>

    <?php
    $color = "red";
    ?>

    <p>Roses are <?=$color?></p>

    </body>
    </html>

i saved this code as new.php it shows in the browser window only "Roses are" text. the value of $color is not printed. i also saved it as new.html but the result is same. what is the problem? what have i done wrong ?

Try 

<html>
<body>

<?php
$color = "red";
?>

<?php echo('<p>Roses are '.$color.'</p>'); ?>

</body>
</html>

or

<html>
<body>

<?php
$color = "red";
?>

<p>Roses are <?php echo $color; ?></p>

</body>
</html>

<?=$color?> only works if you have short tags enabled in the configuration, or if you are using PHP 5.4 or higher.

Since it's not showing anything, this is clearly not the case. Either change the configuration, upgrade to PHP 5.4, or use the full <?php echo $color ?>

It seems like short tags are disabled on your server. Use this instead:

<?php $color = "red"; ?>

<p>Roses are <?php echo $color; ?></p>
