Rosa 'Angel Face' (Floribunda Rose)
Rose 'Angel Face', Floribunda Roses, Shrub Roses
Noted for its intense fragrance, Rosa 'Angel Face' is also prized for its large clusters of full, high-centered, pure lavender blossoms, packed with 25-30 elegantly ruffled petals, sometimes adorned with deep crimson at their tips. Blooming in flushes from late spring until frost, the cheery blossoms, 3.5 in. across (8 cm), exude a rich citrus perfume. When wide open, they reveal a bouquet of golden stamens. The brilliant flowers contrast beautifully with the leathery foliage of glossy, dark green leaves. Vigorous and heat tolerant, this shrub features a compact, upright, bushy habit that makes it ideal for use in the landscape or the flower garden. Perfect for dry climates.
- Recipient of the All-America Rose Selection - the most prestigious rose award in the USA (1969), ARS John Cook Medal (1971) for its fragrance.
- Grows up to 3-4 ft. tall (90-120 cm) and 3 ft. wide (90 cm).
- Best grown in full sun in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils.
- An excellent choice for beds and borders or containers. Plant in groups or as a specimen or focal point. Excellent cut flowers.
- Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
- Susceptible to blackspot.
- Bred by Swim & Weeks (United States, before 1968).
