Product Description
In 2015 Rose 'For Your Eyes Only' was awarded the prestigious and well-deserved Rose of the Year award. This riotously colourful Floribunda Rose produces expansive blooms, each with five petals which subtly graduate from deep cerise to delicate, blushed orange pink, punctuated at the centre with a flurry of golden yellow stamen. These stunning flowers bloom continually throughout summer and autumn from June through to September and reach a mature height of one metre. Its compact habit makes this joyful flower the perfect ground cover plant for borders or containers where the sweet fragrance of the Rose can be fully appreciated. These colourful flowers will also make wonderful cut-flower displays to bring a burst of colour into the home. Two-year-old bare rooted plants are supplied. Please note: Fragrant rose's perfume is usually the most potent on warm, sunny days, while sat in moist soil. Its important to imitate these conditions, as it will release the fragrant chemicals within the flowers. High humidity increases the longevity of the fragrance as it reduces the chance of the chemicals evaporating.

Growing at a glance…
Roses should be planted firmly, to ensure that wind will not disrupt the roots. Apply a balanced fertiliser every 3-4 weeks in the spring/summer, and apply a mulch in the winter for protection. Can be pruned back to remove any dead wood or growth. It is best to plant roses in winter or early spring, provided there is little frost. To prepare your bare rose roots, soak them in a bucket of water for an hour to 24 hours (longer in spring). Then, dig a hole large enough to house the roots when fully outspread. Distribute the roots evenly around the hole and put in a little bit of fine soil to which has been added a small amount of bonemeal. Fill in with the rest of the soil over the roots and tread in firmly. The depth of planting roses will vary between 10-20cm, or as deep as they were in their pots.
