The Uncommon Rose closed its retail operations June 2007. Currently, Rogue Valley Roses is his primary agent handling the distribution of his roses. Burling Leong at Burlington Roses also offers some Paul Barden roses.

Note: In 2011 I decided to retire from rose breeding, since I now have a very strong impression that the industry as we've known it is now in a state of collapse and will not likely recover significantly in my lifetime. And so, I feel there is little point in continuing to produce plants for a market that continues to recede and decline. 2011 was my last year for doing new hybridizing, and so the 2012 crop of seedlings is to be the final crop. Sadly, I doubt many (any?) of these plants will ever see commercial distribution.
