I think Carol s Favorite Gallica and Connie s Favorite Gallica are the same. Kind regards,	REPLY

You could be right, Jana. Although they seem to be slightly different colours, (Carol's: mauve, and Connie's: red to violet),
HelpMeFind first listed Connie's in 2008, and Carol's in 2011.
Connie's carries a HelpMefind 2008 reference (Rogue Valley) which says "This rose is from Paul Barden who received it from a friend".
I cannot see Connie's on the Rogue Valley website, but do see Carol's listed there.

I wonder if there had been some mix-up with a Paul Barden rose 'Connie Lohn', 2003 - which Rogue Valley does carry.

I think these are only roses in different stages of blooming and perhaps grown in slightly different conditions. This is the second year I own rose Carol..., so I can t say much to it personally, but it was recommended to me on Gardenweb by Hartwood as Connie, but the only one I found was Carol. I think this was just wrongly named before and then corrected. Paul Barden has in his site only Carol s Favorite described, but perhaps it would be better to ask just him.
