    This is in a clients garden, he can't remember the name. It is so pretty, and I'm not a rose person, but I would love one of these in my garden.
    Thanks in advance 20240525_105717.jpg 20240525_105717.jpg 20240525_105713.jpg

          It’s a persica rose - this group has a characteristic darker eye at the base of the petals. There are quite a few similar roses available. I have ‘For Your Eyes Only’ - note the ‘eye’ theme.

            I have another one that is similar, "Eyes for you". The blotch is more purple and it doesn't have the yellow in the newly opened flowers, more of a lilacy flush but some of the online pics look more lilac than mine does.
            Not my pic (it's raining) - this one's from Trevor White Roses and looks like mine.
