Rose Breeders

Roses Bred by Paul

When we look at Paul's enduring cultivars, I suppose we can be grateful that tastes turned toward climbers in the early twentieth century, for Paul's most enduring offerings are large in stature. Mermaid is one of the larger roses on the market. Given time and a small amount of encouragement it will literally cover a barn. Most suburban rose gardeners will not be able to make use of it unless they have room for a modest sized tree. It can be trained into a 30 ft high by 20 ft wide tree in warm climates. The rest of these offerings are somewhat smaller, althought Goldfinch will swallow a single story house, and Paul's Himalayan musk will bury a modest sized fruit tree.

The rest of the offerings have unique merits if not superlative qualities. Ophelia, for instance, suggests a subtle fragility that can make it special as a hybrid tea rose.
