More information
Angel Face, bred more than 30 years ago, is a lilac‑purple floribunda with flowers that are large for the class, borne in clusters of 3–9. Blooms appear quickly, showing many firm, wavy petals of pure lilac with a slight crimson tinge, especially along the petal edges. The variety has a strong fragrance that can be detected from a distance and has received several fragrance awards; the scent is sweet with a hint of lemon. The bush grows slowly, so avoid hard pruning. On well‑established plants, flowering occurs almost without interruption. Foliage is dark green and glossy.
The cultivar is very variable depending on climate. The pointed buds open to 10 cm double blooms with wavy, lavender‑lilac petals around golden stamens. Flowers are initially cup‑shaped, then open fully. It blooms almost continuously through the season in large clusters. The fragrance is very strong and fruity. Dark green foliage provides contrast to the blooms. Plants reach 60–80 cm in height; the bush is dense, compact, and spreading, and is suitable for hedging. It is generally disease‑resistant but may sometimes be affected by black spot and powdery mildew.
