COMPACT PERSICA-HYBRID ROSE · ROSACEAE · APRICOT WITH A RED EYE

Rosa ‘Intereybabnaf’ Fancy Babylon Eyes®

Apricot-orange petals with a red “eye”: yes, it is as extra as it sounds 👁️

Family: Rosaceae · Pot diameter: 3 L · Current height: 40 cm

Apricot-salmon petals
Deep burgundy eye

Compact repeat flowering

Rosa ‘Intereybabnaf’ Fancy Babylon Eyes® is a small rose that changes colour in front of you. Single flowers open in peach, apricot and salmon around a constant deep-burgundy eye, while petal age introduces pink tones and makes one crown appear multicoloured. Its low bushy habit fills with open flowers for months, delivering an exotic effect without requiring a large space.

Keep it at the sunny front of a border with a cool blue or silver background, making the shift from apricot to pink and the fixed burgundy eye easy to read.

Most vigorous variety, 17th Barcelona International New Rose Competition, 2017.

What makes it distinctive

Three elements define this exact cultivar’s form and presence.

Warm changing palette

Each flower moves through peach and apricot into salmon or pink as it ages.

Stable burgundy centre

The basal blotch remains deep red even as the outer petal changes tone.

Single flowers in small clusters

Open corollas gather on fresh lateral shoots and repeat through the season.

Why you will love it: because one plant combines peach, apricot, salmon and pink flowers, all linked by a constant deep-burgundy eye.

In the garden & on the terracePlacement & plant combinationsProvide full sun, 60–75 cm of final width and free-draining soil, with air between neighbouring plants.

Planting position

Ideal position

Provide full sun, 60–75 cm of final width and free-draining soil, with air between neighbouring plants.

Colour & compatibility

Compatible combinations

Keep the flower colour clear with blue, silver or yellow accents from plants sharing full sun, airflow and free-draining soil.

Salvia yangii ‘Blue Spire’ — cool blue spikes make the apricot look clearer and raise the background
Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’ — low blue-grey clumps provide a stable base beneath the changing flowers
Achillea ‘Terracotta’ — flat flower heads fade from orange to cream and echo the same warm palette

Detailed careComplete care guideLight, watering, soil, feeding, pruning and problem prevention.

Position & light

Full sun, ideally at least six hours, with air moving around the foliage.

Watering & drainage

Water deeply when the upper 3–4 cm have dried; avoid small daily amounts.

Soil & repotting

Deep fertile but free-draining soil with organic matter and no standing water around roots.

Feeding

Balanced feed at growth onset and a second light application after the first flush, always on moist soil.

Pruning & habit

Prune in late winter according to the natural habit, removing dead, weak or crossing canes. Prune low but not flat, retaining staggered heights above outward buds to renew the natural broad habit.

Problem prevention

Water at the root, clear fallen leaves and inspect young shoots for aphids or fungal spotting.

Development through timeFrom establishment to mature habitFrom first establishment to the exact plant’s natural mature habit.

First season

During establishment it opens low lateral stems and produces its first peach flowers on the youngest tips.

Establishment

Successive flushes add blooms of different ages, allowing apricot and pink tones to appear together across the same crown.

Mature scale

At maturity it remains 50–70 cm high and spreads 60–75 cm, forming a broad multicoloured shrub with consistently burgundy centres.

Mature habit & dimensions

2–5 years

Height 50–70 cmWidth 60–75 cmlow broad dense deciduous shrub

The deciduous shrub settles at 50–70 cm high and 60–75 cm wide without losing its natural branching.

Form through time

Seasonal cycle

Seasonally changing crownlow broad dense deciduous shrubTwo truthful states

Spring–autumnApricot, salmon and pink flowers with burgundy eyes coexist across the low crown.

WinterThe deciduous crown clears to reveal a short broad framework with many lateral shoots.

Both drawings show the same natural architecture as foliage, flowers and active growth change.

What to expect after planting: Give the lateral stems room to open and do not remove every bloom as soon as it fades; the colour transition is part of the display.

History & originCultivar originThe documented history of the exact cultivar and the limits of what is known.

‘Intereybabnaf’ was bred by Interplant Roses in the Netherlands and is marketed as Fancy Babylon Eyes®, within the breeder’s Babylon Eyes series of Rosa persica hybrids.

The cultivar appeared in the collection during the 2010s and was presented by Interplant as a new addition in 2017, with peach flowers and a dark-red basal blotch. Its exact parents and original crossing date have not been published.

At Barcelona’s 17th International New Rose Competition in 2017 it was recognised as the most vigorous variety, an award for the plant’s performance in the trial rather than flower colour alone.

Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScience nobody asked forBotanical detail for anyone who wants to know what lies behind the plant’s appearance

The outer colour changes while the eye remains

Pigments in the outer petal degrade or shift with age faster than the dense anthocyanins of the basal blotch.

The flower exposes its pollen

The single, nearly flat corolla leaves its numerous stamens accessible, unlike many densely double roses.

Frequently asked questions

Six practical answers covering position, water, seasonality, pruning, mature scale and safety.

01How much light does it need?

Full sun, ideally at least six hours, with air moving around the foliage.

02When should it be watered?

Water deeply when the upper 3–4 cm have dried; avoid small daily amounts.

03Can it stay permanently in a pot?

Yes; choose a pot at least 40–45 cm across so the broad crown can develop without crowding and dry freely after watering.

04When and how should it be pruned?

Prune in late winter according to the natural habit, removing dead, weak or crossing canes.

05How large does it become?

At maturity it reaches about 50–70 cm high and 60–75 cm wide, with a natural low broad dense deciduous shrub.

06Is it safe to eat or for pets?

Not intended for eating. Wear gloves around prickly canes and keep treated plant parts away from children and animals.
