Since it's so new and climbers take a lot of time to establish I wouldn't worry about it yet. It should bloom next spring. If it doesn't then I might be more concerned.

What Seil said.

Kate

My new climbers I planted this year only bloomed once and then concentrated on growing and climbing.

I've grown Eden on two different occasions, and if I remember correctly, it didn't put out much of a bloom (if at all) until its 3rd year.

Many climbers take 3-5 years to really settle in and start full blooming.

Kate

Climbers Bloom more from the Lateral shoots off the main cane. There is a good Paul Zimmerman you tube video.

Sleeps, creeps, leaps.

Thank you everyone for your advice. My Eden grew to about 3 feet and has glossy leaves. I'll be patient. I'm sure she's worth the wait.

Yes, Eden is worth the wait.

Your Eden is exquisite!

Mine still hasn't bloomed after being cut to the ground by the brutal winter! Her roots let her grow fast with great foliage, but I'm bummed she didn't have it in her to bloom this year. I am just happy she made it, though. Lots of mine didn't!

Meredith, I have several roses, including non-climbers, that as a result of the brutal winter, had to be cut to the ground and haven't bloomed (or very little) this summer although the foliage growth has been vigorous and healthy. I'm not sure why brutal winters would keep them from blooming, but that seems to be a common problem.

I have had Eden for 15years or more, it has been moved twice and froze to the ground this past winter; every time this happens no blooms. It is a wonderful rose, but it resents moves and severe pruning. Your rose will be lovely next year but you may have to protect it if there is another bad winter.

Kate, wow, that's beautiful. I can only hope that my little Eden will grow up to be as tall and as beautiful as yours. LOL.

Thank you, roseberri, for that info. That was my experience with my first Eden some years ago, but I wasn't sure how common that experience was. My present Eden is only in its second year--hope it gets its first blooms next year.

And thank you, bella, for the compliment to my previous Eden . I hope my present one also grows as tall and beautiful as the first one did. : )

Kate

Oh, good! Thank y'all for the info. I was getting scared that Eden could somehow be rootstock now, even though I can see where the old graft is, lol.

My Cl Maman Cochet didn't bloom until now, and she was the only other one who hadn't bloomed after the awful winter. She has a great flush now, so she resents losing her canes but not as much as Eden, apparently :)

Glad to be of any help, so many of you have helped me figure my plants out in the past! And Kate that Eden of yours is just lovely! I hope everyone gets nice blooms next year!

Worst case scenario:
the new canes are from the Dr. Huey rootstock and the only blooms that will happen will be next spring and they'll be red.
For this reason, do all you can to protect the 2014 canes through this winter.

Ann, yep :) I have some Huey that a neighbor gave to me as a beautiful red rose and made me plant where she could see it bloom, lol, so I have compared leaves. I'm thinking not Huey, but it's close enough that I may be protecting Huey canes all winter. That's OK. The neighbors love him :D

Worst case scenario is that it dies back every winter past its comfort zone and never blooms. Eden isn't a rose for zone pushing. Dr. Huey will at least put on some kind of display.
