You don't mention what zone you're in (or state) so it's good to remember that how a rose performs in one state may differ greatly in how it performs in another state and/or climate zone. A rose that does very well in Calif. may not do as well as in, say, New York.
I'd never heard of Purple Eden until I looked in the rose data base here and realized that it's also sold as Ebb Tide.
I have 2 Twilight Zones and 1 Ebb Tide/Purple Eden. Ebb Tide has taken forever to get established in my So.Cal. garden. This is it's 4th year and it's not all that impressive. The color is very drab (for HERE) and it's "OK" as far as bloom production goes. It has peaked out at 4' tall and about 2' wide but it is very fragrant. NOT a show stopper by any means for my climate (10a) and not at all "vigorous".
OTOH, my 2 Twilight Zones have done exceptionally well for me. They were both planted at the same time (bare root, 2 years ago) and are both in excess of 4' tall and about 3' wide. Very generous with blooms (so far…) much nicer color than Ebb Tide and much more fragrant...which is why I have 2 of them. They are much more vigorous than ET.
Growing roses can be a real crap shoot, so it's "trial and error" a lot of the time, depending on where you live and your climate.
