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".
http://www.venturarose.org/article-missing-moore.htm
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.

I ordered mine from Vintage Gardens from their site "This unforgettable sport of Mutabilis was found in Bermuda by Ronica Watlington on a plant in her garden in the late 1990s. It has since then been a favorite on the show benches at the Bermuda Rose Society. Much as I love Mutabilis, this sport has truly stolen my heart; the bright freshness of the yellow buds and the moment of strong yellow on the first day of the open flower are striking. The blooms fade to creamy yellow, white and then blush to pink, and as with Mutabilis it is the overall effect of the plant cyclying these colors continually that is endearing. Peter Beales nursery has offered this in the UK for some years, but to date it does not seem to have been put in commerce in the USA. Beales also says this is a seedling of Mutabilis, but it is in fact a sport. 2010 IMPORT ROSE SPECIAL. Please read our terms on orders for these imports before ordering. Plants will be shipped in 2013! "

HelpMeFind are listing two different roses:

Yellow Mutabilis (China, Beales, 2008) – seedling of Mutabilis
As for whose garden the 1997 one was found in - both Ronica Watlington and Jean Watson are names are mentioned in the references.

It's been doing very well in St. Pete. This year, I need to graft a few on Fortuniana. I need to get rid of my lookin4you2xist account on here and transfer the info to my oldroselover account. My Yahoo mail account has been giving me a lot of problems. Hence, the main reason I'm never logged in here,GW, or part of Chez Vibert. It will be some work but it will be worth it when I get some time. Malcolm should also have some grafted ones ready soon. It is a very nice sport.

Anyone know where to find this rose? Dream Decks & Patios Spring 2014 lists it as being in Deborah Szekely's garden near San Diago but I do not see it anyplace online.
Thank You!
