The Breeding and Development of Modern Moss Roses

Parentage tree of Dresden Doll:
#0-47-19 (seedling): R. wichuraiana x Floradora
(1978)  Page(s) 29, 36.  Includes photo(s).
 
#11-75-50 Little Darling x Dresden Doll. Small mossy buds open into 20 petaled soft pink 1 1/4 inch flowers. Healthy foliage on a spreading bushy plant up to 2 feet tall and as wide.

One outstanding seedling (#12-59-10) came from a cross of Pinocchio (pink) x William Lobb. This selection has well mossed buds and resembles William Lobb but plant is more vigorous with better foliage and brighter flower color. Abundant spring bloom leaves the plant covered with spiney hips. Because of the very thorny plant and difficulty in handling the mossy buds (emasculation is slow, tedious and messy) we have used this mainly as a pollen parent. However, we did successfully cross #12-59-10 with the miniature variety New Penny to produce Fairy Moss, the first miniature moss.

From crosses using pollen of this variety [Crested Jewel] we now have several selections which show some degree of cresting. One is a rich red floribunda (Sarabande x Crested Jewel...)

#121-68-39 First of the everblooming crested moss hybrids. Sarabande x Crested Jewel. Bushy floribunda type plant to 2 feet or more. Good foliage, fair amount of cresting, rich red bud and flower; 3 inch diameter, 18 petals, blooms all season.

Seed hips on #16-62-A, an F1 moss hybrid: Little Darling x #12-59-10. Abundant spring bloom; red blend with about 10 petlas. Produces pollen and seed hips.

When #12-59-10 was crossed with this [Pink Moss] pink mossed floribunda we got #2-63-5, a very mossy everblooming floribunda with double 2 1/2 inch light red flowers. It produces no seed but a fair amount of pollen.

#20-73-84 (Fairy Moss x Goldmoss)
(1978)  Page(s) 31-32.  
 
#20-73-84. Fairy Moss x Goldmoss. This is an interesting plant in that it is not only heavily mossed but it has very glossy foliage. Also note the marking (stippling) on the leaves. This phenomenoa shows up on very heavily mossed varities and further indicates that the "moss" characteristic is present in every part of the plant. Bushy plant to 2 or 2 1/2 feet; 10 petaled orange-pink 1 1/2" flower.
