Oshun different enough from Abraham Darby?
Comments (6)Thank you, Paul! I really appreciate your input! AD does get a moderate amount of BS for me but I have learned I have been able to avert most of this in my climate by spraying once or twice just prior to the beginning of August and so I put up with it. I do not spray regularly. Just curious, did AD parent any of your other roses that are available at this time (I guess besides Marianne, which I am still on the wait list for)?...See MorePaul Barden’s Rose Varieties Are Becoming Rare
Comments (146)Sorry for the late reply to your query Joe. I haven't been on the forum much over winter, busy with other things. I did go up to the Summerland Ornamental Gardens yesterday to do a quick check on the roses. We had a very difficult winter with a warm November and December, and in early January a sudden flash freeze with temperatures as low as -27 C for a week or so. It is still late winter here and the soil is yet frozen to a degree. Summerland is rated as zone 6b, but we had 5a temeratures with strong arctic catabatic winds and wind chill during the cold snap. So, on to the roses. Most of them will be going into their 3rd growing season this summer, and so are still immature plants. I am happy to report that all of them survived. Many have quite a bit of cane damage, but they all have live cane close to the ground and some have swelling buds already. The collection at the Gardens consists of the following: Marianne, Gallicandy, Oshun, Jerry Jennings and Treasure Trail. We also have Allegra, Janet Inada, Mel's Heritage and Won Fang Yon in the greenhouse at Fraser Valley Rose Farm in Deroche. I will continue to look for viable opportunities to acquire more varieties if feasible, but won't be actively seeking them out. We imported six cuttings of each, along with many more early Austin varieties and a few other hard to find varieties last spring. Jason stuck the cuttings and has been growing them on over winter. I have not spoken with Jason for a month or so, but he is doing an inventory and I will know in a few weeks what took. As well as putting Paul's Plants into the collection at Summerland, Jason will be growing Barden varieties as well and will no doubt have some for sale in Canada in a few years. We too will propagate from the plants in the Summerland collection when the mother plants are mature enough. We will sell our resulting plants at our spring plant sale and our annual Rose Tour held in June. The proceeds will go to help support the Ornamental Gardens. So by my count, we have nine of Paul's varieties in the two Canadian collections. They should be secure for a long time in our Public Garden, which is now 110 years old. We of course were unable to get all of the varieties that we might have liked, but we did pretty well in my books. Because the whole idea of the project was to secure and currate some of Paul's varieties in a safe place, I guess we have a success. An additional intent was to allow us to propagate and share these lovely plants with others. Jason will be able to do that better than we can at the Gardens in the next few years and may in fact eventually begin shipping to the US as his new nursery grows. But again, that will be a few years down the road. Even propagating plants for sale here in Canada is still a year or two away. But then this project started in 2019 and we are now entering year six, but we are on the road to reaching our long term goals. I know many on the forums are familiar with Jason through his You Tube Videos and website. he is young, energetic and a cutting edge nurseryman and Rosarian who shares my passion for preserving rare, garden worthy varieties. For those of you in Canada, check out his website and support him if you can....See MoreRogue Valley Roses new website
Comments (12)OMG! They now list new Paul Barden roses that they never showed in their Barden Roses section before! Check out Diablo Hawk and Striped Jocelyn!!! YUMMY! Just searched among the old posts and pulled this discussion out. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/1573361/are-there-any-good-russet-or-tan-roses#n=37 . Apparently, Paul Barden isolated Striped Jocelyn as a sport on his Jocelyn and passed it on to RVR years ago. And now it's finally made it into RVR's inventory! The color is absolutely to die-for!...See MoreDiablo Hawk by Paul Barden! Anyone with info to share please?
Comments (10)Hi Paul, Thank you so much for chiming in - I was hoping to catch your attention :-) It's really unfortunately that it took so long for Diablo Hawk to show up in RVR's inventory! I know Janet has had problems with inventory for a long time. Just this past spring when I had some issues with my order, she informed me that they were in the middle of a massive inventory confirmation project. Maybe they finally had a chance to get some muddled records straight? I'm really excited about getting Diablo Hawk into my garden! Thank you for sharing your experience with this rose with us! I'm going to keep a close eye on it. If our BS pressure seems too severe for this young plant, I will make exception and use fungicide (hopefully not too late) until it gets more settled. --Lin...See Moreportlandmysteryrose
