This gorgeous rose is one of the latest additions to our Persica Hybrid collection. With multicoloured blooms that start in shades of pale pink and fade to a cream colour, each flower measures around 4cm in diameter. This rose is great for growing in pots or in a mixed border. Aria Babylon Eyes is also great for those looking to attract pollinators to their garden.

Persica Hybrids are modern floribunda roses inspired by the wild Rosa Persica that are distinguished by the dramatic, dark eye at the centre of each flower. Rich in colour and character, these roses bring a fresh, contemporary feel to the garden while remaining wonderfully easy to grow and full of quiet elegance.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Aria Babylon Eyes roses are best planted during their dormant season, from November to March, which is also when we dispatch them. Potted roses are grown in containers and can be planted at any time of year — just avoid periods of hard frost or drought, and water thoroughly after planting.

Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant Aria Babylon Eyes with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Often, yes — we grow our roses ourselves and stock varies through the season, so a variety that's sold out can come back. Use the "Notify me" button above to be emailed the moment Aria Babylon Eyes is back in stock.

Floribunda roses produce large clusters of blooms on each stem rather than one flower at a time, giving a bold, continuous show of colour from summer into autumn. They're generally bushier and more free-flowering than Hybrid Teas, making them excellent for borders and bedding.

Aria Babylon Eyes is a Floribunda rose.
