The award winning ‘Eyes For You’ Shrub Rose from Whartons Roses is a head-turner with abundant bi-coloured blooms that add colour and fragrance to create spectacular garden displays.
This rose is a great choice for enhancing smaller spaces, with its compact habit and small size, it can be grown in a large pot or container to elevate patio areas and balconies. We love it grown in a container to create welcoming entrances and enjoy the wonderful scent as you brush past it each day. It looks equally dazzling when added to mixed borders, or used as a flowering hedge to add structure and colour to garden designs.
In addition to its beautiful ornamental features, this rose has received the coveted Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society for its reliable and healthy growth in the garden. So, you have added peace of mind that you will enjoy the beauty of this rose for many years to come. This rose is also a great way to attract wildlife into your garden, as it is loved by bees and a range of other pollinators.
To ensure you get the best floral display from the The ‘Eyes For You’ shrub rose, use a soil improver or well-rotted manure before planting, and add a sprinkling of Mycorrhizal Fungi to encourage strong root growth. Try to find a sheltered spot that is in full sun in the garden, as this will ensure the roses stay looking at their best for longer.
