About this rose
About Angel Face
Angel Face Bare Root Rose Bush
Rosa ‘Angel Face’ Angel Face (Tree Form)
Angel Face Tree Rose is the grafted tree form of the beloved floribunda introduced in the U.S. by Jackson & Perkins (USA) in 1968. Famous for its ruffled lavender blooms edged in deep violet, each flower carries a strong citrus and spice fragrance. The blooms, about 3–4″ wide with ~30 petals, repeat freely through the season. As a tree rose, Angel Face® offers the same beauty in a dramatic, elevated form that highlights its clusters of flowers at eye level.

Preparing or storing before planting
Never allow your bare root roses to dry out. Open the box as soon as your rose arrives and soak the roots in clean water for at least 24 hours, and up to 48 hours if you can’t plant straight away. Don’t cut the roots: they are the plant’s energy reserve.
Planting instructions
Once your bare roots have soaked in water for at least 24 hours, plant immediately in a container or in the ground. Make sure to bury the crown of the plant 2 to 3 inches below the soil level.
First season watering and care
Watering your bare root rose the first year is vital while your rose is establishing. We recommend a 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch, a drip line and careful monitoring.

The bare root roses arrived well packaged and moist. You can see new growth on the canes, an indication that the rose is waking up. The bare roots have massive long anchor roots, some more than 2 feet long.Parfuma® Earth Angel™ Bare Root
