Notes:

• “Ping was hired as the Rose Research Director for Bailey Nurseries’ new rose breeding program…. His search for knowledge and hardy breeding stock is a never-ending pursuit. He has been on no less than seven expeditions to search for species roses….So far he has brought back 35 species roses from his travels. He is using those roses in his breeding work today.” --- Kathleen Hennessy, “Roses by Ping,” June 2008.
