Eden Climber - A true beauty

11 years ago

Hi All,

I always want climbing roses over an arbor. I finally got an arbor up in my garden, thanks to my husband. There are so many beautiful climbing roses to choose, but I decided on Eden climber because of her charming beauty.

I intended to hold off sharing Eden pictures in this forum until they got a little bigger. However, I cannot wait any longer...:) I have just planted these two Eden climbers this winter from bareroot. They are now around 3.5 feet tall with total of about 40 blooms on both plants from the beginning of the season.

I never get tired looking at Eden blooms

Eden blooms last a very long time on the bush

Hope you all enjoy the photo. Thank you.

very very elegant.
I got a new Eden too this year. Hope she can grow fast and climb soon.

Your plant looks very healthy and the blooms flawless. That being said, I must note that here Eden has been a big disappointment. I don't know what weather it needs, but every year it balls and browns badly. Moreover, it has never repeated and has suffered a lot of winter damage.

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.

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.

This response comes a bit late, but if you are still wondering, the dark red rose behind Eden is Braveheart--one of my favorites. A Clements rose, if I remember correctly. It has Austin's Dark Lady somewhere back in its ancestry. Here is a picture of it--if you squint, you can see Eden upper center, slightly to the right in the pic. In real life, it stands out much better. Took me forever to learn to take a pic that didn't bleed a lot of red. Here was my first nice close-up. Kate

Thanks all for your nice words.

freelong - I hope to see your Eden soon in this forum.
mantis - I'm sorry to hear that Eden doesn't perform well in your area. Hopefully, my Eden will be OK in zone 9. I have seen Eden from the gardens in my area with spectacular shows in the Spring. That's why I decided to have Eden.
Renee - Eden must be my new favorite in the garden too.

I do already have some Eden pictures, and will post here later.

I am on Zone 5A, and I think my Eden won't climb as much as in the warmer zone.

The local nursery has an incredible arch with a pair of White Edens on either end, hundreds of flowers!

Makes me want to rethink that rose!

Great pictures. Eden is one of my favourites, and the one that got me into growing roses in the first place. Unfortunately, mine never recovered from severe damage damage. Reminds me that I need to order a replacement.

Good Morning KhaVi!

I am so excited after seeing your pics! I just got Eden from RU. Your Eden is sooooo Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and giving some inspiration! I can't wait to see ours in bloom. Yours is lovely! :)

What gives? My Eden (bought as a band last year), has started growing rapidly (after a very slooow takeoff).

I gave the roots a not so gentle tug trying to dig Eden up but it wasn't going anywhere.
The roots were deep. It was a failed attempt at relocating due to inactivity! But I did myself a favor because that woke up Eden (Pierre Ronsard) out of a deep lullaby.

So, it's been alert and growing up a pillar (my original intent). It is now a a few feet tall, green, healthy foliage.

I check it everyday for signs of buds. I have yet to see 1
bloom. I put a handful of Epsom salt at the base this
evening and then watered.

Here is my Eden, which I got from RU about 6-7 years ago, growing around a pillar--the biggest one I could find, but it is barely big enough. But then I had to trim Eden back last year in order to replace the crumbling pillar. The spring bloom that followed looked pretty good--but since then it has been sulking--I'm not sure it liked that pruning. Not that it ever had great re-bloom, but certainly better than this. I hope by next year it fully recovers from the forced pruning because it is one of my favorite blooms also.

Not the most floriferous bloomer in the garden, but you will forgive her whenever she does bloom!

KhaVi,

lovely pics. I bet the sight of Eden covering that arbor with flowers will be stunningly beautiful!

Eden is a keeper for me. One of mine has decided to become a continuous bloomer this year--it has been flowering freely, continuously, non-stop since spring. Although it isn't as floriferous as the spring flush, it's never without 20-something plus blooms. Eden has been growing clean for me: no rust, no mildew, no disease issues. And I can smell its sweet tea scent! I hope you can too, because some Eden owners can't detect any from it!
