Eyeconic

Full Description:

Some roses are admired for their elegance. Eyeconic is remembered because people stop and ask what it is. Its open flowers, bright yellow petals and deep crimson centre create a striking resemblance to tropical hibiscus, bringing an unexpected splash of colour and character to the garden.

Developed by the House of Meilland Richardier, Eyeconic reimagines what a rose can look like. Rather than traditional double blooms, it offers cheerful, open flowers that showcase their vibrant colours with remarkable clarity. Each bloom feels luminous, especially in full sunshine, where the contrasting centre becomes even more dramatic.

Flowering begins early in spring and continues in repeated flushes throughout the season, ensuring the plant remains colourful for months. Its healthy growth and naturally compact climbing habit make it equally suitable for containers or planting directly into the garden.

In a large pot, Eyeconic usually reaches around 50–60 cm, creating a spectacular feature for terraces, balconies and patios. Planted in the ground, it develops into a graceful mini climber approximately 120–150 cm tall, ideal for decorating small trellises, obelisks, fences or decorative supports.

Eyeconic is perfect for gardeners who enjoy growing something genuinely different—a rose that combines the reliability of a modern variety with the carefree appearance of an exotic flowering shrub.
