| Botanical Name | Rosa 'Meadragons' |
| Description | 'Red Eden' is a vigorous climber specifically noted for its excellent heat tolerance in the Houston metro area. It produces large, double, cupped blooms in a rich crimson red. While many roses struggle with our humidity, this variety shows good disease resistance. It prefers fertile, well-draining soil; in locations with heavy, compacted clay, it is essential to amend the soil with organic compost or expanded shale to ensure proper aeration and drainage. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Minimum 6-8 hours for best blooming) |
| Height x Width | 10-12 ft. Tall x 5-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Regular, deep watering; avoid overhead irrigation to minimize foliage moisture. |
| Zones | 5 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Use a specialized rose food in early spring and again after the first major bloom flush. |
| Pruning | Prune in late winter (February) to remove dead wood and thin out old canes to encourage new growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
