I do not think we can compete or make anything that is comparable to breeding firms that employ a lot more people and have more land and extra to work with. My thoughts are probably skewed by the thoughts of others from the rose hybridizer association but I do not think it is a bad thing. I find myself thinking know days even when I am not relizing it about what I could use as a parent. I pay attention to what others are doing but in the end I want to do somethig different. I do not want to do the same things as they do. My greatest joy I think would be to do the ground breaking work on some new path that other people can build opon later.<br /><br />I wish you luck on your further endevors.
