Thank you. I need to see about getting it propagated first.

How do we know this is a Hybrid Pendulina if we don't know the parentage?

We don't. The classes listed are based on what the quoted references state it is. While most say that it is a Bourbon or Hybrid Bourbon, the 1895 reference from Journal des Roses believes it is a cross between a Rosa alpina (i.e. pendulina) and a Bourbon.

I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My back rose garden gets very hot. What I mean is over 100 degrees. Last year Eden was 1 year old and she was not happy in the heat. She produced fabulous blooms in May and then grew tall with laterals but not one singe bloom after that. This year I am going to put a heat shield cloth over her in the hopes this will help. Does anyone have any other thoughts? I was watering 2x a day because she became dehydrated. Thanks in advance for yur suggestions.

When established, Eden should be heat tolerant to that degree. It is described as "heat-tolerant". Growing large canes uses energy. Bind those at an angle of 30-45 degrees... and the rose will make laterals on the canes that should flower. As for watering: dig a hole near the roots, put in a big plant-pot. When pouring water in the pot, the water comes directly at the roots and the topsoil will not close off. Do that less often than twice a day and extend the intervals. Later on when established, remove the pot and close the hole.
The "pot-method" works well too with Zucchini's (Courgette) and Pumpkins. In the pot You can fertilize too. Not the roses, for Rosaceae do not like fertilizers directly at their roots. Strawberries as being part of the Rosaceae family also do not like fertilizers on their root-system.
PS: I looked up my own rating for heat tolerant for Eden. I rated the rose in its youth as fair. Now, I would rate it as good to excellent. For it stands at a hot place.

Mine has made a couple of runners. I didn't know this one would spread but I don't mind it!
