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).

Why do so many people abuse antibiotics?
this leads to bacteria that become resistent to antibiotics. lots of antibiotics now are not effective because of other peoples abuse of the drug. soon antibiotics wont work on us and we will end up going back to the days when antibiotics were not discovered and people died over the simplest diseases
Cause they are stupid
