Angel Face RoseLavender Floribunda Rose Angel Face Rose bush is free flowering, with clusters of extra large, rich, deep, lavender double ruffled blooms, with ruby blushed edges.
The exceptionally large 3-inch flowers arise in great clusters beginning in early summer. The petals are slightly waved, with some boasting a faint, deep crimson outline along the tip. And all are richly redolent of sweet fruit, a scent so addictive that, Angel Face received the ARS John Cook Medal for fragrance. Most lavender/Mauve roses are extremely fragrant. Introduced in 1968 by Swim & Weeks, 'Angel Face' arose from a cross of ('Circus' x 'Lavender Pinocchio') x 'Sterling Silver,' and you can detect the faint silvery sheen of its parentage in certain lights.
