Boscobel finally opened today. It's very slow growing so far, though was only bought in October last year so is very young. Hoping it picks up a bit.

Can anyone identify this beautiful rose?
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.

Check out how long the running time of the battery is as some only last only 20 minutes. Also the cost of replacing the battery when it dies as they are very expensive.
