Thanks for writing. Thinking about ...Hi Paul,<br /> Thanks for writing. Thinking about this latest change in the "Rose Forum" made me think back to the rec.roses list we were on back in 94-95. That is were I first remember you getting deeply involved with roses. I've enjoyed your creative contributions to the various lists over the years and certainly in the garden. It seemed to me that your work going back to many of the earliest roses was both a very large undertaking and potentially a breakthrough move. With the turn in the market and difficulty making a living with roses I know it must have seemed overwhelming. <br /> We recently moved a good bit of our garden to our new home. It looks like all of your roses except for Mel Hulse, survived the move and this year I added Won Fang Yon and am on the wait list for Mel's Heritage. I suspect in the next few years we will add the rest of your roses.<br /> Thanks again for your contribution and the best of luck to you.<br />ScottAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878507678767364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576842140672493583.post-64605061161083224792015-04-17T09:24:30.225-05:002015-04-17T09:24:30.225-05:00Hi Scott,
I saw your thread on GW about my roses (...Hi Scott,<br />I saw your thread on GW about my roses (thanks for that) and I just wanted to let you know that I no longer have a GW login, since Houzz took over the site. (My attempts to restore my login after the takeover failed, so I just gave up and moved on) So - unfortunately - I am currently unable to add comments to the discussion, just in case you were wondering. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind comments, and best of luck with your roses.<br /><br />PS: I have handed over the last few roses selected from my breeding efforts to Janet Inada at RVR, and it remains to be seen when (or if) any of them will be released to the public.

I don't grow any of his roses so far, but I am interested to get to know more about them. 'Unconditional Love' looks fabulous and I really would love to see some pics of 'Pam's Choice' and 'Mel Hulse' from your garden in the future. Hope all the new ones will be doing well for you! For me disease resistance, followed by beautiful flowers with fragrance are the main criteria for choosing a new rose and overall Paul Barden roses seem to do pretty well on all three accounts. <br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576842140672493583.post-38247520158505747162012-02-25T08:42:46.427-06:002012-02-25T08:42:46.427-06:00I had to leave many things out or else the entry w...I had to leave many things out or else the entry would have been too long. You are right, his writing has made a significant contribution to so many roses growers and I imagine more than a few breeders. I hope his current break is just that and not an end to his rose breeding efforts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02878507678767364406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576842140672493583.post-73606575367542976412012-02-24T23:39:01.479-06:002012-02-24T23:39:01.479-06:00I love Paul Barden roses.

His roses are beautiful he definitely spend time and effort to study and follow up on his creations. I also like his descriptions of all rose types in his website. Great pictures.Andi Rivarolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462324494313616686noreply@blogger.com
