It has been suggested that your photos may be Eden Climber instead of Eden.

Here are some photos of Eden for you to compare too. http://www.helpmefind.com/plant/pl.php?n=1711&tab=10


Here is the Eden Climber entry in PF's http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/228328/ and also from Helpmefind http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=20365&tab=10

When they are compared they do seem to be Eden Climber. What do you think? Please let us know and we will be glad to move the photos.

I can see that there is clearly a lot of confusion surrounding the name
'Eden'; however, I am quite certain that is the name under which I purchased the plant.

I do agree that it would make sense to move the photos to the entry for Eden Climber; however, I don't agree that this rose is misnamed. According to information I found and which is shown/explained below, Eden and Eden Climber are the same rose.

Here is how I see it:

The 1st link you provided appears to be for a rose named 'Eden Rose'.
If you follow the link which you provided for Eden Climber at helpmefind and then go to the 'plant' link at the top it will take you to the following page: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=20365&tab=1
If you scroll down on that page to Synonyms you will see that 'Eden' and 'Eden Climber' are the same, at least, according to that source. Here is the helpmefind link for Eden: http://www.helpmefind.com/Roses/pl.php?n=1708

Here are few additional links showing this rose for sale as Eden: http://www.heirloomroses.com/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?page=item&cat=13&item=201
http://www.davidaustinroses.com/american/showrose.asp?showr=3814

Other links to this rose as Eden: http://www.rose-roses.com/rosepages/climbers/Eden.html

According to this information, it appears to me that the names Eden and Eden Climber are synonyms for the same rose. So, yes, I do think the 2 entries should be combined by moving these photos to Eden Climber; however, I think the name Eden should probably be added to the synonym list on the entry for Eden Climber so that others won't make the same mistake that I apparently did.

If there is not another entry for Eden Rose (the pink hybrid tea) and you plan to keep this entry for that rose, I think the name on this entry should be changed accordingly.

Edited to add that I believe I was the one who made this (duplicate) entry. I was a newbie at the time and it appears that I got a lot of the information wrong, having mixed up the Eden's in my attempt to track down the info. Sorry.

Oh, and, mystic, I think I forgot to say, "Thank you very much for being there to fix my mistake"
