Rosa 'Red Eden Rose' - Climbing Rose

The Bush 'Red Eden Rose', also known as 'Eric Tabarly', is a red flower version of the famous Pierre de Ronsard, to which it is related. It belongs to the Romantica series created by Meilland, combining old roses' grace and touching beauty with the floribundity and resistance of modern roses. This climbing bush is impressive, healthy, and charming due to its well-double, old-fashioned flowers arranged in velvety quarters. Its satin purple-red colour shimmers beautifully, and the flowering is even more generous if the plant is grown in the sun.

Red Eden Rose or 'Meidrason’  is a modern climbing bush hybrid tea rose obtained in 2002 by the rose breeder Meilland. This climbing bush with an erect habit reaches about 2m (7ft) in height, or even more, with rapid growth. It produces stiff, strong, thorny branches that bear elegant, slightly glossy, medium green foliage, highly resistant to rose diseases if the growing conditions are correct. Throughout the summer, its large, fully double flowers, measuring 10 to 12 cm (4 to 5in) in diameter, emerge from big red, round buds, then open up into very double and globular roses divided into quarters, which open best under the sun and in a rather warm climate. They are solitary or grouped in small bouquets of 2 or 3, carried at the tips of long shoots of the year or emerging on 2-year-old stems. Their fragrance is light.

'Red Eden Rose' is a rose that thrives in full sun, and its vigour is ensured in well-amended garden soil. It is a perfect rose for beds and romantic bouquets. It deserves a wall exposed to the sun (not scorching) or a structure large enough to support its vegetation covered in flowers. It allows for creating sumptuous decorations throughout the summer, requiring very little maintenance apart from regular watering in summer during periods of high heat and prolonged drought. The Romantica series of roses offers numerous possibilities for combinations, for example, by planting Red Eden Rose, Allegro, Palais Royal and Auguste Renoir side by side.  Also, combine them with easy-to-grow large-flowered clematis.
