Climbing Rose 'Brite Eyes': Radler's Watchful Bloomer

Introduced in 2005 by Bill Radler, 'Brite Eyes' (PP17391, also known as RADbrite) is a large-flowered climber with a distinctive feature: each bloom has a prominent, bright yellow "eye" at its center—a ring of golden stamens that catches the light like a beacon.

Botanical Profile

The flowers are single to semi-double (8-12 petals), a clear pink with that brilliant yellow stamen center. They appear in large clusters on flexible canes reaching 8-10 feet. The fragrance is light, sweet. The foliage is the Radler standard: dark green, glossy, highly disease-resistant. 'Brite Eyes' brings a species-rose charm to the modern climber—the open face, the prominent eye, the pollinator appeal—wrapped in Radler's bulletproof genetics. It's a climber that watches over the garden, bright-eyed and blooming from spring to frost.
