I’m a home gardener near Austin, Texas (Central TX, zone 9A, hot summers, heavy clay soil). As of May 2024, I’m just looking into trying my hand at rose breeding.

I own a Mutabilis, a Shadow Dancer (which is a splendid rose), a Cinco de Mayo, and a Valentine (floribunda, 1950).

I’d like to acquire a big yellow noisette climber, a Dortmund, a Julia Child, a Night Owl, and an Abraham Darby, and who knows what else……

Breeding advice welcome.
