[From "A Victorian Rose Garden Reborn", by Gloria Leinbach, pp. 2-9]
Another fine example of rose rustling is “Barbara’s Pasture Rose” collected in a pasture near Cherokee, CA by the late Barbara Oliva, of the Sacramento City Cemetery Rose Garden. This rose closely resembles ‘La Reine’, a well known, vigorous Hybrid Perpetual that is pink with violet undertones and very fragrant. We grow both of these roses at the Banning, but so far the growth habit remains different.

Barbara [Oliva] collected “Barbara’s Pasture Rose”, an especially vigorous La Reine-style Hybrid Perpetual, by slipping under a barbed-wire fence to get it.

"Barbara's Pasture Rose" (HP, Found, Parentage, Introducer, & Date Unknown) This little-known foundling bears sumptuous pink blooms, tinged violet. Opening as flat globes, finish as flat, five-inch, ruffled saucers, the fragrant blooms are gracefully erect, on sturdy green stems with few prickles, showcased against clean, medium-green foliage. This is a vigorous, mannerly, rounded plant, with a heavy spring bloom and a good Fall repeat. “Barbara’s Pasture Rose” has exhibited great resistance to powdery mildew and rust, in spray-free California gardens. Its “true” name may or may not ever be known, but under ANY name, this lovely foundling deserves to be better-known, and widely-grown. Collected (yes, in a pasture) near Cherokee, California, by Barbara Oliva of the Sacramento City Cemetery.
