| You might learn something from the work of Canadian rose breeder, George Mander. And on my web page I have several articles by another Canadian breeder, the late Percy Wright, who had much to say about breeding for hardiness. So did Skinner. http://www.bulbnrose.com/Roses/breeding/rose_brd.htm Karl |

| I am trying to combine Canadian, Buck, Austin, and Kordes roses plus a few species. If you look at what I am germinating this year you will get an idea of where I am at in this program. http://home.neo.rr.com/kuska/winter_2004-2005 hips.htm Other links at my main web pages will take you to previous crops and pictures of seedlings. Each year I distribute open pollinated hips of my prior crosses by announcing them on the rose hybridizer's forum. Good luck, |
