Andrew..........
A few years before Mr. Moore died, several of us worked hard to return the roses that he had bred and had lost the mother plant to Sequoia Nursery to create a living archive of all of the roses he had created. 'Orange Cascade' was one of the roses that has remained on the "Lost Roses" list. There were over 100 cultivars returned to Sequoia, but some were never found again.
When you consider that Mr.Moore had been introducing roses for over 70 years, it's understandable that we couldn't get them all, but we sure tried.

Lyn,
I could never be a part of the rose search. At the time, it was next to impossible to get his roses from California to Florida. It was only when Nor East closed,and they pulled out all the stops as I like to say, that I was able to buy 210 of his varieties. I would have bought more (all) but many were sold out very fast. I am always trying to fill in the "blanks" as much as I can. I should be growing a dizzying array of Teas, instead of always replacing the minis I have. Thankfully, I have finally gotten good at grafting, and my misting system has been a godsend. I am guilty myself of not being diligent enough posting pictures for other rosarians. Hopefully that will change this year.
I appreciate the reply as always!
Regards,
Andrew

You probably never knew about the "Lost Rose" search. It was a challenge and a wonderful experience. I had people send cuttings directly to Sequoia to be propagated and Mr. Moore was able to confirm the identity of the rose. I have found six more since he died and some photos of roses on the list have been posted to HMF as growing in a rose garden in Hungary.
Here's a link to the list of the Lost Roses that was published several years ago. Some of them have been found, but the majority are still "lost".

The mother plants were lost during floods in the Sacramento Valley and due to employee errors or many other kinds of things.
Any photos you can contribute of any of these lost roses will be treasures.
Smiles,
Lyn

The link to the missing roses of Ralph Moore is broken. I am wondering if you could upload the list to HMF Publication resources. Thanks.

Could we review the stated height (10'' to 1', 25 to 30cms) of this climbing miniature please. As a pillar it can be trained to around six feet.
