Are there several copies of this rose? Who has it? Is it still alive?

It is still alive and in a few private collections. Possibly in 2025, Burlington Roses will have plants to offer.

Agree with what you wrote: Often a seedling performs better once it has been propagated, exceeding the original seedling's vigor.
I got Yves seedling 'YVPXCHSL1' (bred by Robert Neil Rippetoe by his crossing Yves Piaget with his thornless Bohemian Rhapsody). Back in 2013, the mother bush produced both light pink and red blooms on the same bush. I was able to grow it from a cutting, and this cutting produces STABLE red blooms, a big improvement over the unstable color of the mother-bush. The mother bush also improved from producing both pink and red blooms in its first 2 years, to ONLY red blooms for the next decade.

Straw, please choose a name for this rose and I shall post it accordingly.
Thank you, Robert

It would be Sandyhook rose since I got the rosehips from you in 2012, that's when my ex-neighbor moved to Sandy Hook, CT. Her 5-year old daughter got shot along with many kindergarteners. I grieve for that little girl. The girl's older brother was my daughter's playmate. Your Yves seedling or Sandyhook has a baby-powder sweet scent plus a touch of grape juice, like a toddler's sweet scent.

This rose was discovered growing on an abandoned property at the corner of Chintimini and Brooklane in Corvallis, OR back in 2000. It was growing up the trunk of a conifer and barely visible from the street (and only when it was in flower).
The original plant was destroyed in 2023 when the property was cleared out for development.

This is such a glorious rose! I wish there was a source for it. Paul Barden why isn't this for sale?!?

I have made only a couple copies of it and I need to propagate it more before I can start to offer it. This will take at least another year.

Thank you for the reply! I am so glad you are still breeding roses.

I'm not. This hybrid dates back to 2010. I retired from the work in 2011.

In a forgiving climate, this can easily build up to a 6 foot shrub over decades. It will happily exceed 2 feet tall in average conditions, with little pruning needed.
