About Face - Coming in Jan 2008
Grandiflora - Golden-orangey inside/bronzy-red out
A topsy-turvy attention-getter, this bi-color medal-grabber makes your eyeballs salute ‘cause the two colors are
outside-in. Or is it inside-out? The lighter lasting golden-orange color is on the inside with a distinct darker bronzy-
red outside. Yet it's not just the flying colors that will cause a flap. It's a turning point as a plant, too, with superb
vigor, lush clean green leaves and loads of bloom.
Height & Habit: Tall / Very upright
Bloom & Size: Medium-large/fully double
Petal Count: Around 35
Fragrance: Light fresh-cut apple
Hybridizer: Carruth - 2005
Comments: A far-out color and a way-out plant makes for a knock-out rose.

Barbra Streisand
An avid rose lover, Barbra was very choosy when it came to picking a rose that would bear her name. It had to
have large flowers with an attractive color. But most of all, it must be fragrant! The Barbra Streisand rose certainly
fulfills those desires. Just one big shapely blossom can nearly overpower you with strong sweet scent. The clean
lavender colors show off strikingly against deep glossy green leaves. Her vigorous plant bears loads of long-
stemmed beauties. Great for cutting or just for smellin'.

Petal Count: Over 35
Fragrance: Strong rose and citrus blossom
Hybridizer: Carruth – 2001
