  • Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Feb 2, 2014 8:52 PM concerning plant:
    This rose, more commonly known as the Eden Climber in the United States, is the ideal climber. It is a vigorous grower and the thick canes have no trouble holding up the heavy blooms, which are packed with petals (as many as 60). The blooms are heat resistant and rain resistant.
