Red Eden Climber in Southern CA

13 years ago

Hi everybody,

I finally got my hands on Red Eden Climber. But now I am wondering if abou how it performs, specifically in an area like mine. I am in S. California... very hot summers, mild winters. Any experiences with this climber? Thanks in advance.

By the way, I forgot to mention that this rose is meant to cover an arbor. So, another question I have is if thats a good one to cover an arbor or should I save it for another part of the garden (does it bend ok, does it grow tall or wide etc)?

Is Red Eden related to Eden? Eden has stiff canes and can be hard to train.

Glad you liked it ;) I have Red Eden and the Cream/Pink one except that one is much smaller than I'd like. I bought it as a band before I found out that a nursery about an hour away from me was selling it in large 15 gallon buckets. That's where I met and fell in love with my Red Eden and within a year, it went gangbusters in the garden! It practically ripped down my trellis and training it was so hard on the trellis for me that I put in two more obelisks in the back. I did the html code embedding thing - I think it worked once for me before but yesterday it just didn't want to work. Maybe it was bc the photos were set to private and then I made them public and the public setting took a little bit to take effect. Also, I went to Home Depot yesterday and almost couldn't resist bringing home an Angel Face bush to go with my climber but I want to try as many new varieties as I can so I sped away quickly from her fragrant blooms.

If I found one I loved I'd plant 2 for the length needed. These pinks I have been eyeballing. Hope someone comments on hardiness for your area or is that not an issue? Blossomtime - 15ft., O'Neal'51 Cesar - 16ft., pink tho HMF says yellow blend ??? Compassion - 15ft. (mine blooms at the end of canes, often candelabras, no laterals after ~10 years, I'd like to replace it with Papi Delbard) Dream Weaver - 12ft., florib, zary'98 Maid of Kent - 12ft., clusters of sm flowers Papi Delbard - 15ft. Parade - 12ft., darker pink that lightens Pearly Gates - 12ft., blooms last in Sacramento's humid heat in CA (per Kathy who knows her roses) Penny Lane - 15ft. Spanish Beauty - 20ft. (nope, don't want the pruning job)

Thank you for the reminder to be more in awe of all the beauty I am gifted with in my garden. I tend to be focused on the creating aspect of gardening. Taking time to just be in the moment and admire with a joyful mind is the gift of our labors and talent. I see you are in zone 6b, berrypie. My growing zone is 8, so I am a fair bit milder. Certainly go for the hot area for Eden rose. As well, I am sure you know all about mulching the roots of your roses for winter. I am an advocate of own root roses, finding them to be much easier to grow. As well, they come back true from the roots should the top die to the ground for some reason.

I have this spectacular rose: very healthy in my no spray garden, very little die back and beautiful spring display. It’s a lovely gift you have given us @regtomerlin. Will call her Margaret Mae instead of PiP henceforth.

Red Eden is not related to Eden.

Red Eden has rigid upright canes that are actually more rigid than Eden's from my experience. However you can still bend them to an extent and it should be fine. I am using Red Eden to fill a small arbor of mine

How is everyone’s Red Eden roses growing and looking? I would love to hear an update. I’m also in Southern California and have been considering this one for a while. How is it on rebloom? Would you consider it a constant bloomer all season, spring to fall?
