What variety is this?
Is it a climber?

Louise Odier is an old Bourbon rose. Not technically a climber but works well trained as a short climber and trained around a post, guessing the height is approximately 8-9 ft.

When you open the photo, the rose name is in blue at the left at the top of the photo. This is an active link to the rose page in the HMF database. You can click on the link and it will take you to the rose page where you will find basic information about the plant. You can click on the REFERENCES tab to find more information and if you click on the COMMENTS tab, you will find information provided by the rose community. When you click on the GARDENS tab, you can find gardens near yours and see if the rose is commonly grown in your area. Of course, there is the BUY FROM tab that helps you locate a source to purchase the rose.
HMF gives you a lot more than just photos to check out a rose that you might like to have in your garden.

Hello palepinkrose,
I purchased my Pierre de Ronsard/ Climbing Eden locally from Fred Meyer (now Smith's Marketplace) 9 years ago. Perhaps if you call around to local nurseries someone might stock it. Otherwise I do believe it's widely available by mail order.
My home faces SSE. Eden gets late afternoon shade in summer. Blooms last forever. It does not drop the blooms so you will have to deadhead when they look ratty. Took a few years to work up to good rebloom. Hope this info helps. Good luck.

John Davis in this photo appears correctly labeled. It looks like a very accurate representation of the bloom form, color and habit. This looks much like my plant as do most of the other John Davis photos here. This is a really lovely photo with the meadow surroundings and the darling girl sitting under the bounty of blooms. Kudos!

I am growing around 200 in the nursery at this time. I try to show the roses I grow for sale under adverse conditions so you can compare how it grows under ideal conditions. To many of the pictures of roses were taken in California growing from the best high quality garden soil being sprayed regularly with fungicide. If you ask those people how it will grow in zone 5, sandy soil and is it disease resistant they have no first hand experience but reassure you in order to get the sale. I try to show potential customers how I am growing the plants in question, how tall they are and how disease resistant they are each month of the year using pictures in my newsletter at www.floweringshrubfarm.com
