Oh Ada, and you are so good with all plants. When and if I mature (meaning get a work ethic) I want to be a gardener just like you! I really do. If you lived here, you would put me to such shame!!

I have no clue what kind of soil it likes, Betty. I know it likes to be pruned. If you do not prune it becomes spindly. Mine are very full and very purple. I toss a huge handful of 16-16-16 fertilzer maybe twice a year and prune them in the early spring and then literally forget about them. They get no bugs or diseases, at least not in the 30 years I have grown them. And they bloom maybe 9 out of 12 months. What is really odd, is I rarely see any in anyones yard. Isn't that weird?? I have 5 of them, all good size small trees. I know a good thing when I see it. LOL

Oh Sue, I am so sorry, I missed your question. YES, that second rose is Eden Climber. A beauty for sure. I get about 4 good shows a season out of her. Not bad!! I have her on an arbor.
