Eden Rose

his old-fashioned climbing rose has rightfully stood the test of time, owing to its versatility and dependability.

Beautiful cream double blooms filled with deep pink shaded petals start to appear from the start of summer, before repeat flowering and continuing to add interest all the way through to the first frosts of the year. The remarkable colour only stands out more as it contrasts well against dark green leaves.

What’s more, the long strong stems on this vigorous climber make it an ideal choice as a cut flower, allowing the beautiful colours and perfumes of nature to be brought inside and enjoyed even longer.

This rose will produce hips during autumn, containing the seeds of the plant. The bright colour will attract plenty of birds, which will eat the hips and distribute the seeds.

Suitable for all garden locations, this would look equally as beautiful trained up walls, sprawled over an archway, or grown as a condensed shrub with support in a patio pot or container.

Roses, such as ‘Eden’, play an important role in ecosystems producing food for pollinators such as bees and hoverflies. 

As well as attracting wildlife for food, this rose offers several sustainability and environment benefits, for example the deep roots help to hold soil in place to control erosion, while the healthy foliage acts as remarkable shelter for birds and small mammals.

This beautiful rose can be seen in the beautiful gardens at Glyndebourne.
