I Came With the Sunrise

One of the many lovely roses in the Stanley Park Rose Garden (some 3,500 rose bushes)

Rosa "About Face" was developed by hybridizing wizard Tom Carruth. It's a traffic-stopping bi-colored Grandiflora.

 

One of its parents is an earlier Carruth masterpiece, the popular 2003 AARS winner Hot Cocoa. Gardeners who've tested About Face report vigorous growth, very fast rebloom, and an amazing abundance of flowers. The full vivacious blossoms reach up to 5" in diameter, and the exceptionally long stems are ideal for cutting. What a show-off!
