About Face™
Rosa Grandiflora
Rosa Grandiflora
A topsy-turvy attention-getter, this bi-color medal-grabber makes your eyeballs salute 'cause the two colors are outside-in. Or is it inside-out? The lighter lasting golden-orange color is on the inside with a distinct darker bronzy-red outside. Yet it's not just the flying colors that will cause a flap. It's a turning point as a plant, too, with superb vigor, lush clean green leaves and loads of bloom.

Scrumptious flowers of showy apricot orange will both light up your landscape and blend in with other colors. Ain't life grand?
