'SAVaralph' rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Notes:
Ralph Moore, the father of miniature roses, was honored in 2000 for a lifetime achievement award as the first and most prolific miniature hybridizer. As a tribute, we named this AOE Winner Ralph Moore ™. Like its namesake, it is a rose of significant character that fades very little with age. It has rich, vibrant, slightly fragrant red blooms nestled ato reddish-green foliage. The plant is upright and well-balanced, and the bloom is abundant throughout the season.
The Mini-Rose Garden says Ralph Moore (SAVamoore) has rich, vibrant red blooms... It is named in honor of Ralph Moore, the first and most prolific American miniature rose hybridizers, a man whose life work is the foundation upon which all US breeders have built.
Ralph Moore was born on 14 January 1907.
