Angel Face rose

I have never actually seen the Angel Face rose before, but judging from the photos, it's a delightful looking flower. However, I have researched what information I can on it, and it's certainly something I would like to grow myself. People have called it pink, mauve, and even purple. It can definitely be affected by the light on it.

I really like the ruffled look to this....while the color is listed as a mauve blend, the accompanying pics show it as pink, so that's why I have placed it in this section. The photos were kindly donated by Carla, thanks very much! You can visit Carla's website, about gardening in Oklahoma city. She appears to be doing quite well with her Angel Face rose gardening there!

You can contribute your own pictures of an Angel Face rose, or any other roses or flowers you have in your garden. If you would like to contribute your own rose pictures to this site, then please send them in. Not only will you get the pictures displayed here, you will also get a one way link to your website/blog. High quality pics please, and if you can give a description of the rose, so much the better.
