Notes:
  • “About Face is a traffic-stopping bi-colored Grandiflora, and somewhat of an oddity in the rose world because the inside is soft golden yellow, while the reverse is a darker orangey-bronze (bi-colors are usually lighter on the reverse). One of its parents is an earlier Tom Carruth masterpiece, the popular 2003 AARS winner Hot Cocoa.” --- Dr. Leda, 2004 @ regannursery.com, retrieved January 2021.
