Rosa 'Eden'

Climbing Eden Rose

Rosa 'Eden' is a climbing shrub rose with large, old-fashioned cupped blooms that transition from creamy ivory to soft pink with deeper rose centers. Flowers emerge in abundant flushes from late spring through early fall, carried on strong, arching canes above glossy dark green foliage. Each blossom holds a delicate, light fragrance and often bows under its dense blooms, creating romantic cascades. As blooms fade, subtle rose hips may appear, adding soft autumn texture while pollinators frequently visit the floral display.

Planting & care

Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Climbers bloom best when the long main canes are tied out horizontally along their support.
