Rogue Valley Roses Will Be Shipping to Canada
Comments (3)Good to hear from you Anne. I often think about you and your garden, though I don't often post and don't often see your very often any more either. I guess I'm an old timer and mostly a lurker these days. I think the last time I corresponded with you was about a rose called Morgengrus. Sadly it didn't do much for me and it is gone now. Though the bed where I planted it seems to be in decline and it may not have been the rose. Most of the roses in that bed are nine or ten years old now and I think that they are worn out from the yearly winter kill to near the crowns. I remember hearing somewhere that roses grafted on Multiflora wear out after ten or twelve years and that seems to be what is happening in my front bed. The old plants have massive woody knots at the graft and were not putting out vigorous basal breaks last summer as in the past. I think the soil may also be getting tired because the bed is crowded with roses, delphiniums and perenial fox gloves. So, I plan to dig it up this spring, put in fresh compost and manure and replant with new roses, including those from RVR. Hopefully, that will fix the problem. I hope that you are doing well and that your garden is also doing well and bringing you joy. Good to hear from you again, thanks for the reply. Happy New Year and a happy, healthy gardening season to you. Jayne Austin and a hint of things to come this summer. Cheers, Rick...See MoreNew Paul Barden Roses at Rogue Valley Roses
Comments (42)I should show photos that depict its lack of vigor too. Great for dry heat, no crisping... but maybe not good for other areas. No new little canes yet. I really should be pinching off buds as instructed, I just got too busy. One got some black spot and defoliated, which isn't a problem ever here so if you're in a black spot area it's probably not so good. The others all have a little black spot too. This one gets the most sun and heat... it's the happiest. All my broccoli and celery, lettuce and radishes bolted in that bed too. It's hot....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 MoreGive yourself a treat by reading Paul Barden’s rose website
Comments (18)Helen, my thanks to you for hosting this website. Too many wonderful rose sites from the early days of the web when I was first exploring have disappeared. A few were captured by the Wayback Machine, but too few. I'm glad the one is being saved. (it's actually one fo the many reasons I prefer books. Information is distributed better online, but preserved better in print.)...See Morebethnorcal9
