I know I am recommending Northland Rosarium a lot but I love their roses! They are located up north I believe in zone 5 so the roses they grow are for that climate also. Plus they are own root. If you go to their website, you can read for yourself about their own root roses. The benefit for own root in zone 5 is if it dies back during the winter, it will grow again in the spring since it will re-grow form it's own roots. Grafted roses cannot do that. Also I am in zone 7, and I have two Eden roses. One is grafted, and the other is own root from Northland Rosarium. The grafted one I bought a year before, and a year later bought the own root Eden. Well the own root rose has almost caught up to the grafted one, plus the own root one grows new canes from the ground that the grafted one cannot. I am eagerly awaiting bloom right now, and I will post pics as soon as I can.

It is an easy rose to keep neat, and the flowers are gorgeous, if scentless. The question is: how cane hardy is it going to be for you in UT. Most modern climbers are reasonably easy to control. For example: 'Fourth Of July', 'Eden', 'Altissimo', 'Berries n Cream', 'Compassion', and, yes, 'Eden' can all be kept tidy with moderate effort. It's the old ramblers from the early 20th century, the Noisettes of the 19th century, species (wild) roses, and the Wichurana hybrids like 'New Dawn' that are the rampant ones. In zone 5/6, size won't be so much of a problem as it is in say Florida or Southern California. The problem you have to handle is winter die-off.

Flowers, Thank you for telling me more about your Eden-she is the queen if Edens to me w/ her abundant blooms! Ben, Your Eden is the King of Edens!!!!) Just can’t believe it’s tall climbibg beauty! Oh, My, WOW! Flowers, Your Eden sounds soectacular!!!! I think Eden us the best! It’s blooms, each one, have the most beautiful shape & pircelain colored light punk, and she’s so vigorous! Yous blooming all the time is nagical-I can’t wait to see if mine will bloom that much….. I think the more sun, more watering, fertile conditions would bring her out to be her best after 4 years hoping. However, Heirloom Rises said their Eden now has huge almost tree sized HUGE trunks- canes are soooooo wide. I see my Eden’s canes thickening -but don’t want big tree sized trunks!!! Lol! I think I’ll let her griw around tge side of my baywidiw to reach 12 feet or so to get max blooms! My Eden on other side of bay window is just starting to fill out, but littkexshaded….. may move vegetation aroundcto give her more sun so she can thrive.

Paintgirl Yes, my Eden is on obelisk. I understand we’re in different zones, but my biggest mistake with Eden is not giving her sufficient space and support. I’ve only had the plant a bit over 2 years, and she wants to be 8x14 feet, and I’m not sure how to stop her, pretty much obscured and devoured the obelisk, and is growing too close to other favorite roses. If you do put Eden on an obelisk, I’d say at least leave enough space so that you can do a trellis later If needed.
