The description & photos for About Face are exactly what mine looks like. If I don't cut it back, it's easily 6' tall and covered with spectacular orange/yellow-copper blooms. And no black spot!! I love About Face!
I planted this rose around April 10, 2022. It has a couple of flowers but is not as vibrant as Strike it Rich. I hope that as it grows and matures the color will deepen.
I have been so impressed with this plant! The color has deeply contrasted solid orange-backed petals with strong yellow faces, as if they were all painted that way and it's hard to fathom til you see it. You can't go wrong with how beautiful and unusual it looks. (only the first picture is representative, there is no pink or pastel colors, I think the other pics are a mistake)
Out of 8 heirloom roses I bought last year, this one has resisted black spot and quickly shot up with gigantic 6-foot stems and it's been healthy and robust. highly recommend this if you like interesting flowers!
I live in Portland OR zone 8.
I am so pleased with this lovely rose. It's difficult to describe because of the change in color as the blooms age. It's gorgeous at all stages, from bud to maturity.
