Rose Eye of the Tiger

A persica cultivar, which gives it its deep red eye, Rosa persica Eye of the Tiger is a small, repeat-flowering, bi-coloured, deciduous shrub rose with a compact, bushy habit. The bright green, glossy leaves are notably healthy. A very free-flowering rose, it bears medium-sized, open, single to semi-double flowers, lightly scented, rich yellow with a deep red eye and golden stamens, attractive to pollinators. Rose Eye of the Tiger is a real eye-catcher, with excellent disease-resistance. It can be grown in open ground or a large container.
