I promised a couple of you pics of Eden in bloom. Here they are--but not the best shots. Not sure why I'm having trouble taking photos of her. I'll keep trying for a really good photo, but enjoy her in these photos in the meantime.
Eden Climber--if you look closely, you can see the dark purple clematis also blooming in there.

Not much variety of pics here, so let me add a lovely purple columbine (unusual shade), with gorgeous iris in the background.

Has anyone grown Jude the Obscure as a climber? New Dawn? Eden?
Comments (15)Thank you everyone for your comments. I've bought Jude the Obscure as a non-climbing variety to go with the rest of my English roses. I already have Graham Thomas, planted it yesterday with room to expand and grow big. My Golden Celebration is in it's second year, has many buds, they are not open yet, I'm so much looking forward to it. I've bought both New Dawn and Eden, they are beautiful and I couldnÂt help it. Since New Dawn seems to be a bigger plant it'll go onto the wraparound trellis. Eden will go behind the English roses, I'll have to come up with some kind of a separate trellis for it. I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow and post them. Thanks again, your comments were very helpful....See MoreNew purchase EDEN climber will it bloom this year?
Comments (5)I grow White Eden(sport of Eden) which is almost identical to Eden. Mine got to about 3x2.5 in it's 1st year and only gave me 2 blooms. With that said, it's all budded up this year and is throwing out basal canes at will...I think I am up to the 4th or 5th basal cane now during the 1st flush and I didn't even prune it. I'm pretty interested to see how tall the basal canes get since I need some 10ft ones to fill an arbor haha....See MoreRed Eden Climber Experiences?
Comments (2)I grow it in Columbus, OH. I planted it last July and it bloomed quite a bit, but didn't grow much because it was busy developing it's root system and stayed at about 2.5ft. Currently, it has shot out 3 new canes that are at 6ft. Red Eden likes to shoot out upright rigid canes(think mister lincoln). They are pretty rigid,but you can still bend them to an extent. The rose typically just blooms at the ends of the canes where you will get a branches cluster of 5-10 blooms, however during the opening spring flush, you will get lots of new lateral growth that blooms(like any rose). The blooms are to die for....most petals I've seen too. I counted 186 on one bloom last year. The fragrance is nice as well. I'd call it in between mild and strong. During my spring flush I had a lot of problems with balling, but here in Ohio we had an absurd amount of rain and humidity and quite a few roses balled. I highly doubt it will be a problem in your area as this rose tends to like hot, dry weather and performs best in it. You can expect it to grow larger probably in your area of course.

Right now they are at the 4th cross bar(6') From 6-7-2010 My Red Eden had the blooms open up a little odd and my "reds" this spring were very magenta-like. During the rest of the summer, it's pretty close to red. Here are other's pics of Red Eden that shows it's true color and true bloom form....See MoreDoes Eden, The Romantica Climber, Have Good Repeat In CA
Comments (12)I had this rose in my Sherman Oaks garden approximately 15 miles from the beach near the Sepulveda Pass. The rust was so awful, I removed it in the middle of August, because every part of the plant rusted including the canes, the petals, the guard petals, the foliage, the twigs, and the thorns. Oddly enough, the first few years it did not rust, but once the rust set in, the plant was practically a monument to the disease. Ten years ago in Paris, I think I saw this rose in every possible place, including containers in private gardens and apartment complexes. Beautiful and lovely, but I have vowed not to suffer rust after having both Eden and Playboy. Five miles to the east, my friends in Toluca Lake have both Playboy and Eden, but never get rust or mildew; I think it is because there is a mandatory breeze blowing all pathogens to North Hollywood.
