Rose ‘Eye Of The Tiger’ (Shrub Rose)

Rose ‘Eye of the Tiger’ joins a growing group of modern roses favoured for their simple open flowers with strong central eye. This unusual shrub rose combines the essence of wild roses with modern disease resistance and stronger vigour. The semi double, apricot yellow blooms are splashed with red at their centre for a particularly attractive display throughout summer. The thorny stems can even be trained onto short supports for a striking mini patio climber. Height and spread: 90cm (36″).

Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible. Rosehips and petals can be used in making syrups and the petals will add flavour to cold drinks or fruit dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Companion planting: Try growing roses with garlic, chives, thyme or mint to help deter aphids and blackfly.
