Wow I really like that.

how would you describe the color? It’s looks coral or salmon in the photo but I assumed it would always be dark pink.

It’s definitely a dark hot pink with whitish undersides. Really a spectacular rose.

Thanks for sharing. I am surprised by how early it bloomed since you are in zone 6. Did you plant it last spring?

No, I bought two babies from Northland and one came with a little bud. It’s taken about a month but she bloomed. I couldn’t bare to nip her when she arrived.

If this is what a baby Pink Eden looks like, I can’t wait to see her in a couple years! I got them to go on either side of the gate and will build an arbor for them this fall.

I do have a huge flush on my climbing iceberg about to bloom, a big flush on Veilchenblau, Alchymist, Zepherine, Awakening, New Dawn and Abraham Darby. My Henryi clematis is just about done blooming as well. Things are definitely early this year.

Please share the Veilchenblau!

I planted 6 tiny ones last year and only 1 has grown to any substance so far.

Absolutely, keep an eye out 💜

I have Pretty in Pink Eden in zone 6a Ohio. She’s extremely vigorous and fast-growing. Huge plant (10’ tall and 8’ wide) after 2 years, during the third summer. Very hardy. The color in my garden is electric hot pink, so bright it looks almost fake. The first flush is magnificent, the later flushes are minimal. (However, I don’t fertilize much after the primary feeding in early May after the last freeze — consisting of a bucket of composted manure plus a substantial sprinkling of long-term granular fertilizer.)
Quite susceptible to black spot, but our rainy and humid summers makes black spot a frequent visitor generally. Also, the canes are tied to a wall, so air circulation is less than for the free-standing roses. Overall a very nice rose though not one of my particular favorites. In large part, the reason may be that I tend to fall for prefer the apricot and pink hues, the lavender blooms, the blushing white roses, and a few yellow roses. The only exception so far is the scarlet rose Florentina, which I adore.
