Paul Barden Roses: August 2011
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 8, 2011. Back to Rugosa origins. Clearly this seedling is not just a selfing of 'Hansa' since it has that odd "antler" pubescence often seen in Rugosa/modern hybrids. It has yet to be seen if this cultivar has merit as a garden shrub, but I plan on working it forward with other diploid breeding lines. I see a marriage with 'Therese Bugnet' in it's future.

Paul Barden Roses: November 2010
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 30, 2010. Seedling # 03-06-07: 'Hot Cocoa' X 'Dragon's Blood'. Few seeds from this cross germinated, and this is the sole survivor of the lot. I can't quite make the photograph reflect the subtleties of hue that the bloom actually possesses; its not just a red, its that odd shade of Chinese red with an overlay of "smoke bush" purple that several of the "brown" roses has. Not even Photoshop can tweak it to accuracy. Oh well. So, why the title of this post? Links to this post. Spam is for...

Paul Barden Roses: 107-09-03
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2011/06/107-09-03.html
Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Parentage: 42-03-02 X R. foliolosa. This is a strikingly pretty red single, presumably a diploid, selected for further breeding. It appears very eager to set seed and hopefully I will start to see repeaters in the next gen. Very healthy plant! This is making me very pleased to have started over at the species level. June 15, 2011 at 8:13 PM. Very nice. I can see that the thin elongated foliage of R. foliolosa was passed on. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 87-09-01, an update.

Paul Barden Roses: August 2010
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. I put that name in double quotes because its not a species, but a hybrid between two species: R. soulieana. The seedling's foliage is fragrant when touched, giving off a combined scent of Frankincense and Raspberries! X 'Floradora'), crossed with an R. rugosa hybrid, which will have the ability to pass on remontancy while remaining a diploid. I'm trying to avoid getting into triploid territory for now, just to make things easier to deal with. Links to this post. In June of 2009...

Monday, March 28, 2011. The main breeding house is really leafing out. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Links to this post. Sunday, March 27, 2011. 0-47-19 X R. roxburghii normalis. Links to this post. Rather excited to see the first of these. Links to this post. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 22, 2011. What do YOU think?

Paul Barden Roses: June 2011
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. I am announcing my decision to take a sabbatical from rose hybridizing. This may in fact lead to "retirement" from the work in time; I am open to that possibility. Right now, I have ceased generating new seedlings will and spend the next two seasons evaluating what I already have. After that, who knows. June 27, 2011. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. This is the second selection that has bloomed in a very dark color. Much darker than anything I imagined possible...

Paul Barden Roses: Grapey surprise.
http://paulbarden.blogspot.com/2011/06/grapey-surprise.html
Wednesday, June 22, 2011. 27-09-02: 'Midnight Blue' X "MORsoul". The latter is an unreleased Moore hybrid from 'Anytime' X R. soulieana. It was one parent of Ralph's lovely little 'Baby Austin'. This was a huge surprise, color wise. I selected 'Midnight Blue' knowing that if anything could add color to a cross that might bleach out to pale pinks or peaches using most any other parent, 'Midnight Blue' could. I guess I wasn't wrong! June 22, 2011 at 2:14 PM. June 22, 2011 at 4:16 PM. I have been breeding r...
