Notes:
  • “Rosa ‘Eden’ (also known as 'Pierre de Ronsard', 'MEIviolin', and 'Eden Rose 85') is a light pink and white climbing rose. The cultivar was created by Marie-Louise Meilland and introduced in France by Meilland International  in 1985 as part of the Renaissance® Collection. It was named 'Pierre de Ronsard', after the French Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard to his famous ode that begins: Mignonne, allons voir si la rose. The cultivar is also called 'Eden Rose 85' as Meilland had already introduced a rose cultivar called 'Eden' in the 1950s…The cultivar was ahead of the times – when introduced in 1985 it wasn't very popular, but 'Eden' is one of the best-known nostalgic roses nowadays. In 2006, 'Pierre de Ronsard' was selected as 'World's Favourite Rose', the highest title a rose can be granted, and inducted into the Rose Hall of Fame.” --- (Wikipedia, “Rosa ‘Eden’) retrieved March 2021.
