Angel Face Rose bush is a beautiful modern cluster- flowered floribunda rose, and my very own favorite lavender purple rose flower.

'Angel Face' has been highly popular in the USA for about 30 years, so rose 'Angel Face' has a proven track record in the gardens.

This is one of the most fragrant of roses, and it has won prizes for fragrance alone.

The blooms are actually large for a floribunda, and comes in clusters of up to nine flowers.

Maintaining angel face floribunda rose is a breeze since it is resistant to most common rose diseases.

It is a winner of AARS Rose Award of 1969. Below is an excellent rose photo of this rose.

Although the color can be a lot more blue/lavender in warm climates.

It's better suited for warmer climates, because it needs a lot of sun to bring out the color tone to it's fullest.

So plant this beautiful rose in the most sunny spot in your garden.

Growing Information

This rose looks it's very best when growing with dark purple roses and add a white iceberg rose as well for a stunning garden display.

Pruning 'Angel Face' Rose

Floribunda roses should never be pruned hard. Just prune off a 1/3 of last years growth, otherwise practice time-tested basic rose pruning

The rose bush needs time to build up a framework, so only prune it lightly in the beginning.

But once established it will continue to bloom with abundance without interuptions in warm, mild climates.

Zone 5-9, height 3 feet.
