Rosa 'About Face' | About Face Grandiflora Rosa
DESCRIPTION
Rosa 'About Face' is a floribunda rose known for its rich, bicolor blooms that open in warm shades of golden-orange with darker reverse petals. The flowers are large, double, and lightly ruffled, appearing repeatedly from late spring through fall. Each bloom carries a strong, fruity fragrance with citrus and spice notes, making it a standout in both garden beds and floral arrangements. Clusters of blossoms are held on upright stems, ideal for cutting and long-lasting in vases.
Bred by Tom Carruth and introduced by Weeks Roses in 2005, 'About Face' was developed from a cross that includes ‘Oklahoma’ and ‘Julia Child’. It features deep green, glossy foliage that enhances the bold coloration of the blooms and offers excellent disease resistance even in humid conditions.
