Rose 'Eye of the Tiger'

This superb new floribunda rose has some of the character of old fashioned and wild roses yet posesses all the benefits of modern breeding with strong vigorous growth and healthy foliage. The simplicity of the blooms is more than made up for by their sheer numbers - throughout summer the bushes will be smothered with masses of apricot semi double blooms with a brilliant crimson eye - the open flowers are a magnet for friendly insects too.

The result of over 30 years British breeding work 'Eye of the Tiger' has Rosa persica in its parentage which brings extra hardiness and drought tolerance - this and a really tough and easy to grow rose - and a superb performer in the garden. Plant in the border or - for a show stopping patio centrepiece - in a large pot.
