A New Disease Resistant and Compact Climbing Rose – ‘Brite Eyes’
Our most popular plant category is roses and for good reason – everyone loves roses! This week we are featuring a new climbing rose that our rose lovers will adore -’Brite Eyes’. Bred by the famous Knockout rosarian William Radler, ‘Brite Eyes’ is virtually the most black spot resistant climbing rose ever introduced – requiring the least maintenance of any climbing rose.
‘Brite Eyes’ has single blooms that are salmon-pink with yellow centers and that emit a light pleasant fragrance. Expect several cycles of repeat blooms throughout the summer and into the autumn. It has a compact growth habit, reaching no more than 8 feet tall, which makes it perfect for the smaller garden. ‘Brite Eyes’ works well climbing on a trellis, an arbor or a fence. On fences, we suggest planting at every other fence post. Most trellises are 6 to 8 feet tall and most climbers grow 10 to 12 feet tall, requiring regular pruning to keep them in bounds. At 6 to 8 feet ultimate height, ‘Brite Eyes’ is a perfect low-maintenance trellis rose. ‘Brite Eyes’ is sufficiently winter-hardy and restrained in habit to be excellent for container use.
Planting and Care
- For best results plant in the spring or fall.
- Plant in full sun for best blooms, but will tolerate partial shade.
- Plant in well-drained, compost-enriched soil.
- Mulch well the first winter.
- Pruning and shaping, when necessary, should be accomplished after the initial spring bloom.
- Fertilize with Rose-Tone monthly from early spring until late summer.
- Hardy in Zones 5-9 (possibly 4 with further testing).

Rose and the Clematis $15.74 Author John Howells claims that the climbing rose and the clematis are natural planting companions; both have an urge to reach for the sky and the need for the same growing requirements (good, rich soil and a fair amount of water). The rose makes a softer, more beautiful support for the clematis vine than any trellis, and clematis offers a contrast that brings out the beauty of roses. They s… |
