Light-up garden roses 'dazzle' neighbours with 'truly beautiful' night-time glow

Daily Mirror07-05-2025

The Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights are available to buy on Amazon and have received a number of five star reviews from shoppers
Amazon customers are raving about a solar-powered light that resembles real roses. With summer approaching and longer evenings, the £11.99 Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights could be a 'delightful and enchanting' addition to your garden.
These solar-powered artificial flower lights are praised for being 'well constructed and durable,' boasting an 'elegant' look. According to Amazon, the Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights are so lifelike that they could easily be mistaken for actual flowers in your garden. Additionally, the petals and leaves are flexible, allowing you to adjust them to your liking.
No wiring is required, and Amazon says that the installation is straightforward. Simply place them in a spot that receives direct sunlight, and they will charge for six to eight hours during the day, providing a 'gorgeous' ambience at night for ten to twelve hours.
With a waterproof design, the Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights are 'perfect' for both indoor and outdoor use. One reviewer mentioned that she keeps the lights inside during winter and moves them outside when the weather gets better, reports Wales Online.
The light up roses come with a stainless steel stake and a user manual. Amazon says: "Put the switch to 'ON' position before use. If there is no sunlight to the solar panel and the stored energy has run out, the lights will be not bright."
If you're looking for a lighted tree instead of flowers, B&Q offers a 4ft Cherry Blossom Tree Outdoor Decoration for the garden, featuring 128 solar-powered LED bulbs. Priced at £27.99 and available for home delivery, this tree is sure to 'impress your guests,' although it has not yet received any reviews.
Currently, Amazon's Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights boast an impressive average customer rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, with most reviews being highly favourable. One five-star review from Carmen said: "Bought as a light for a memorial patch I'm doing in my garden for my late mum. Pink was her favourite colour. It's perfect."
Others echoed the shopper's sentiment, with Jamie saying: "Very pretty looking in the daytime and lovely at night with the lights." Emzie added: "I love this item. It's nice and bright too. The stick could be bit thicker so make it more sturdy. But overall lovely."
Ali said: "These lights are very pretty on our balcony, especially at night. They look so nice that I have ordered some more. There are three roses on a stem and they look really attractive." Nell said: "Love these roses. I have them in front of a garden mirror and in the evening when they light up they reflect in the mirror. Absolutely beautiful."
Maria wrote: "These are AMAZING... I love these and stunning when it get dark these light up and look great" Dolly said, "Looks like a real rose, it looks really pretty at night and is very bright, good quality, good price and size." Syliva praised: "Look very real had loads of comments. Even better at night."
And a thoughtful customer revealed: "I bought this for my neighbour and she decided to put it in her kitchen window. It is truly beautiful at night and she absolutely loves it. Will be transferred to the garden through the summer."
Not all buyers were chuffed with their Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Light acquisition, with some experiencing issues after only a few months. Steve said: "Not bad for the price but after a while the red leaves faded." Marcel said: "After a few months, it simply doesn't shine as bright as before." Wendy put: "Lights up but looks very very plastic."
Nia shared his disappointment: "It was lovely and bright at first, but within a few months the colour was all washed out and the petals falling off, and it stopped working completely after 18 months, which was really sad as it was bought for a memorial."
For those in the market for light-up florals similar to Amazon's Homeleo Solar Garden Rose Lights, there are plenty of alternatives to consider. Debenhams, for instance, offers a duo of Hyacinth Style Solar Stake Lights in pink and purple hues priced at £24.95.
On another note, Argos has on offer a Warm White Starburst Solar Stake Light that mimics the appearance of a dandelion, retailing at £10, and is touted by customers, boasting an impressive score of 4.8 stars out of five.

'Easy' way to clean patios in just '10 minutes' with no jet washer needed

After weeks of wet, windy weather, your patios are likely looking a little worse for wear - but a heatwave is on the way next week so it's the perfect time to get cleaning After enduring weeks of dreary, blustery conditions, your patios may be looking rather neglected. With a sizzling heatwave on the horizon for the UK next week, it's the perfect opportunity to spruce up your patio or al fresco dining space in time for barbecues and gatherings. Yet, tackling tough stains, algae, and moss on patios can prove challenging. Bearing this in mind, devotees of cleaning sensation Mrs Hinch have divulged their straightforward and speedy technique for patio rejuvenation. Elaine Chalk reached out to the 'Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips' community, asking: "Best Patio cleaner, please?" ‌ Her query was met with a deluge of suggestions, but one product, Monty Miracle, stood out as a crowd favourite. Georgia Ettridge enthused: "Monty Miracle is by far my favourite!" She continued: "...Then rinse it after 10 minutes." ‌ Elaine Rider offered her endorsement: "Monty Miracle cleaner is the best. Honestly, it's so easy to use and so quick. No jet-washing, just spray, leave 10 minutes and rinse away with a hosepipe." She raved further: "You will never use anything else again. I was recommended it and wow I was amazed at the result. This is my patio before and after." Elaine showcased a striking before-and-after snapshot of her patio transformation,, reports the Express. The initial image revealed a surface marred by black marks, while the subsequent one displayed a patio that appeared as good as new. The lauded Monty Miracle patio cleaner is available for purchase online or at hardware shops. Priced at £31.49 from B&Q and £29.69 from Amazon, Monty Miracle Fast Patio Cleaner is accessible for those eager to replicate Elaine's impressive results. Mrs Hinch enthusiasts have been sharing their top tips for keeping outdoor spaces pristine, with suggestions ranging from Wet and Forget to bleach, Patio Magic, pressure washers, and soda crystals.

Just leave it to dry and hose down." Karen Sutton recommended a simple household remedy: "Soda crystals in hot water. Stiff broom and scrub and rinse off." The product Wet and Forget has previously been endorsed by Mrs Hinch's followers, who praised its ease of use.
