GOOD FOR YOU! CUTTING ARE NOT EASY FOR ME.

Great job Linda! Yes, Taboo and Gardens of the World are both hard to find.

Your rose looks great! The patent expired in 2008, which means it is now legal to propagate. But, they trademarked the name, which means you can't sell it as "Taboo."

It's also known as Barkarole. It's OK to sell it as that.

I am very surprised that no one is selling this since I think it might be one of my best dark red roses.

You did great on growing those from cuttings! I am impressed. Those look quite big and healthy for one year. This makes me want to go get some cuttings and give it a try.

It is being sold, but under the name 'Barkarole'. I think Pickering has offered it for years, and I know it's available from Palatine. A neighbor and I combined our Palatine orders last year. The 'Barkarole' my neighbor ordered was the largest, most well-branched bareroot of the 20+ we received. I was unfamiliar with the variety & was pretty impressed when it bloomed this spring. I'll have to check on it now to see how it's holding up in this oppressive heat.

Yes jaxondel, but both are Canadian vendors. I am wondering why no American vendors are offering this rose. I got mine years ago from a small west coast vendor who sold a lot on ebay. Maybe just joey's? It is such a good rose I wonder why it is not more readily available????

They are still available in Australia as taboo, I know because I bought one a few months ago.
