Notes
'About Face' rose (Rosa 'About Face') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. It grows upright to about 5 or 6 feet tall and has dark green leaves. The fragrant orange blooms open in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn, and bees visit them. Thomas F. Carruth bred it in 2003.
Pairs well with Chaste tree, Evening primrose, and Red spider lily.
