I am trying to find where I can buy a rose called Green Eye.  It was in my wedding bouquet and I want to grow it but cannot find it anywhere!

    That’s a rose??? Wow, how peculiar! Maybe try asking your wedding florist?

    They're what is known as a 'Florist's rose' ... not grown in the UK and possibly not grown in Europe, but air-freighted to wholesalers in Holland from wherever they're grown in the world ... possibly somewhere in southern Africa?

    You obviously love white roses ... why not have a look here and see if there's one that reminds you of your bouquet

    I had a dark red rose, whose name escapes me but a  DA , possible Prince something, where every year the first flush of flowers had exactly the same 'green eye' as that white rose so I am wondering if perhaps that is the same and the second flush of flowers  would just be normal white roses. .
