Notes
'Angel Face' rose (Rosa 'Angel Face') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. The ruffled, fragrant blooms are lavender edged with mauve. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the glossy, dark green leaves set them off. Swim & Weeks bred it in 1969.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Ornamental onion, and Mexican hat.
