By  combining his two strains of Moss hybrids, and using 'Fairy Moss' also, he has opened the  door to all sorts of modern Moss roses. It is a wonderful example of the rose breeder's art, but like all new developments, the prototypes are not necessarily absolutely right. 'Kara' is a single pink, 'Paintbrush' is buff yellow going white, and 'Dresden Doll' double pink. The moss  is certainly there, but not with the Victorian charm we expected. Sad to say, the plants I have seen of these mossy Miniatures have been susceptible to blackspot. But these are teething troubles; and even if they were not  overcome, what an example  Ralph   Moore has set!

Kara was the first really mossy miniature rose. This came about as a seedling of Fairy Moss x Fairy Moss. The low, very compact plant covers itself with tiny very mossy buds, borne singly but often in clusters, which open into 5 petaled 1 1/4" rose pink flowers. Blooms recurrently all season.
