Rosa ‘About Face’ is a striking modern rose cultivar known for its dramatic, two-toned blooms and vigorous garden performance. Often simply called the About Face Rose, this plant is a grandiflora rose that produces large, high-centered flowers in rich golden-yellow, dramatically edged and backed with deep orange to coppery-red tones. The effect is eye-catching from every angle, with blooms that appear to change color as they open and mature.
This rose grows as a tall, upright shrub with strong canes and glossy, dark green foliage that provides an attractive backdrop to the vivid flowers. It is valued for its excellent repeat blooming throughout the growing season and its light to moderate fragrance with hints of spice and fruit. Hardy and adaptable, Rosa ‘About Face’ performs well in garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens, offering long-lasting flowers that are as impressive on the plant as they are in floral arrangements.
