I've had Eden for probably 10 years.
I consider it one of the most beautiful roses but it's been a very poor performer for me. Not even blooming some years. Somehow it's escaped my shovel of death.
Well last year it threw out a couple 5-6 ft canes that I tied laterally to encourage more blossom development. Sure enough she had alot more blossoms this year than she ever produced before plus threw out a new 8 foot cane! I'm not doing anything different this year so who know?🤷‍♀️
I guess there's always hope.
