EDEN ROSE^® is one of the most popular rose varieties around the world. It was bred by Jacques Mouchotte from Meilland in France and introduced in 1985. It became a bestseller overnight. Originally it was named PIERRE DE RONSARD^® after a French poet from the 16th century and poetry is what comes to mind when looking it its beauty. Noble, cupped flowers are pale cream to almost white with gentle pink shades and darker pink margins. They are borne singly atop upright, sturdy stems from June until October. Fragrance is mild, pleasant. Having received a world-wide attention, it was renamed to an easier name Eden Rose 85^®.

Deciduous leaves are dark green, partially glossy, and very healthy. It can be grown as an upright shrub about 1m tall if cut back every spring or left to its own devices it will quickly reach a height of 2.5-3.5m as a vigorous climber. Its strong stems make it ideal as cut flower. It resists common rose diseases, heat, and rain. This is the perfect rose for a wedding bouquet.

Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of size 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.

Pruning: rambling or climbing roses are not supposed to be pruned. But it can be shaped and kept smaller by careful pruning. Deadheading will help setting new flower buds. Trusses of spent flowers are best removed just above the first leaf with 5 leaflets.
