4 years agoWhat a beautiful rose it turned into!! That's gorgeous!
Apricot Twist is currently the only Ralph Moore rose in my garden, but I have Hula Hoop on order hopefully arriving next week. I have been looking into getting other Moores because I have heard that they are so healthy and AT has been so hardy for me.

Comments (15)I second that Kathy! Beautiful roses Seil & Robert! I don't know which is my favorite: Shropshire Lad, Sisters at Heart, Hondo, Lady of Shallott... I just got some cuttings of Tamora in the mail and I'm trying to root them; boy those thorns are something fierce!!! I had no idea they were like that! Thankfully from your pictures, I can see the blooms make up for the thorns :) Tammy...See MoreNor'East Ralph Moore Roses ... got any to trade?

Comments (16)Daun, yes I do. I wish I had a bloom to show you. I can show you Precious Dream as I bought her on 10-8: Precious Dream today, 12-4: When I went in and picked up this rose I asked the manager if this was as good a rose as Julie Link and she told me absolutely. I intend to pick up another two different additional ones in the spring, I like these roses very much. My weather temps have been all over the place including a couple of 20's at night. I think the pics of this rose speak for itself. I'm impressed with how well it's doing now. I have four different colored Hybrid Bracteatas now. Out Of The Night is the other new one I have planted beside it and it even has 3 buds on it about to bloom, weather permitting. Yes, I have to sit on myself, it got so hot here early and the manager down there gives me the evil eye about buying during really hot weather, LOL* Therefore, I bought roses again in late Sept and Oct:) Anytime you want a heads up on a rose I'd be happy to go down with a camera and take a pic:) They have an extensive supplemental list. As far as Precious Dream goes, I saw the rose blooming in the nursery and it's really beautiful. Leslie...See MoreMy Ralph Moore Roses, part two
Comments (13)Thanks Daun, I added Precious Dream in Sept, that's another Hybrid Bracteata and will have the same bloom form as Julie Link but will be a soft pink. I also planted next to it Out Of The Night, which is a near white and white blend with a yellow center. There are two others I like. Lemon Pearls that is a soft yellow and Amber Gem that is a pink to orange blend that I'll probably add in the spring. Again, these are all Hybrid Bracteatas that he's introduced since 2002 to 2006. Out of his 2007 roses I selected Sequoia Ballet, a Grandiflora. I wanted it last spring but I was dissuaded from purchasing it then. I saw it in Sept and admired the bush they grow it off of and was told by the manager she was impressed by how well it did with the hot summer we had and how fast it grew even more so. I was really sorry I didn't get it in the spring. I have it now though. Hi Rainbow, yes I have plenty of lavenders, I keep trying for purple. Mauves and pinks are second, white blends are next and orange, yellows and those blends are coming in neck and neck now. These roses are only my Moore roses, I have a lot more roses than this:) Leslie...See MoreStephanie, 9b inland SoCal

4 years agoTwo of my first roses to bloom this Spring were Ralph Moore's Pink Poodle and Stars 'N Stripes which are two of my favorite minis!
My plant is about 1x2 after three years. It's great bloomer and has some fragrance.
I'll post Stars 'N Stripes below.

I don't think the rose you know as 'Pink Poodle' is properly identified. I have been growing PP for over 15 years and it is one of my favorite roses.
Here is a photo of an open bloom
You can see that the shape of the petals are very different.

4 years agoI have several of the late Mr. Moore’s roses. I’ll start with the ones I have pictures of.
Silver Cloud is a real favorite.

4 years agoHi roseangelyn - Your petals are more pointed and I would love to see more pics of this rose if you have any to post!
This rose isn't easily available anymore. In fact, I sent a cutting to Burling Leong who is theoretically producing more but I haven't seen it on her list of miniatures. It might be a "waiting list" only rose.
My rose has been quite variable and also has pointed petals at times. Here are some prior year pics.
This is the very first bloom I got after receiving the plant. The color is so much darker than what I've had since then.
First spring in the ground.
Typically my PP's color ranges from this shade to the lighter shade in my prior photos. I also got more striping and larger stamens this year which was great.

4 years agoHow fun to see these neat Ralph Moore Roses! I find them to be very healthy and VERY heat tolerant.
Ann, I wondered if your Pink Poodle was the real deal after seeing your first batch of pictures, too. Your later pictures look much more like Pink Poodle to me. I searched for PP for a while. I IS a hard one to come by, and very unique.
Roseangellyn, isn’t Silver Cloud a great rose? It’s so carefree, and just pumps out the blooms. I love the tiny chocolate buds that open larger than I first expected. They are smallish semi double blooms, and have neat ruffles. The vase of Silver Cloud blooms had dropped some petals overnight. I even love seeing the dropped petals. It’s easy to see why this rose glows from within. Lisa
