This was a rose trapped in a small pot in the nursery at The Huntington Library when I began volunteering there decades ago. I asked Clair Martin, who was the Curator of Roses there about it and he stated it was a rose by a Northern Californian breeder which had been shared with a nursery person up there and never released. I repotted it from the 2 gallon can into a fifteen gallon and began pushing it into growth. It resembled a cypress knee and pushed an eyebrow pencil thin growth which exploded into a huge cluster of those flowers. I asked about planting it in the garden and was told no, as it wouldn't be fair to the public who couldn't buy it. In the early 1990s, John Clements spoke at a Huntington Old Rose Symposium and bought a literal pickup truck full of the roses we had propagated for the sale. I had called it "Pink Cluster". It was pictured in the Quest for the Rose by Philips and Rix in Sharon Van Enoo's garden as Pink Cluster. The rose was obviously RMV infected (as were many others including Moonsprite which was also purchased and taken back to Heirloom Roses). That was in April of that year. By October,when the new catalog came out, both roses were magically included as "virus free" and available for sale from that nursery for the very first time. Heirloom called it "Morey's Pink China". The Northern California nursery person was Muriel Humenick at Rose Acres in El Dorado. She had shared it with The Huntington. Paul Zimmerman obtained it from me and sold it through Ashdown Roses in their 1994 catalog as Morey's Pink. I had written to Dr. Morey and inquired about the rose. In his response, he stated it was one of several roses he had felt were "ahead of their time" and which he had maintained in his home garden. We had arraigned for me to visit and take cuttings of those other roses, but his wife fell ill and then he passed so it was never possible. The parentage given on Help Me Find was what Dr. Morey stated in his letters. It is a product of a self seedling created from two of Ralph Moore's Wichurana based miniatures, therefore not a "China". Roger Philips provided his permission for me to post his photo from The Quest for the Rose to Help Me Find.
