He loved telling the story of Sam McGredy wanting plants of ‘Pinstripe’. Ralph hadn’t finished using ‘Pinstripe’ for breeding and wasn’t ready to release it yet, but he did give Mr. McGredy plants of ‘Stars’n Stripes’. He said he suggested that if he crossed it with itself it once, he could easily fix the dwarf plant with stripes. From the looks of the striped minis released from McGredy’s breeding on ‘Stars’n Stripes’, Ralph’s suggestion wasn’t taken

Description. Ralph Moore of California is a leading breeder of miniatures. In an attempt to bring bizarre roses into this class he used the shrub rose 'Ferdinand Pichard', which is pink striped with red… The chief value of this item is as a talking point for visitors.

[From a cross of 'Little Darling' and 'Ferdinand Pichard', Ralph Moore used this rose in his breeding program.] But the one (and only) successful cross to produce a striped flower was a small lot of about 50 seeds from 'Little Chief' (miniature) x No. 14 stripe. When I first saw the flower on the tiny plant (the only seedling which came striped!) I knew I had something. As soon as possible, a few cuttings were made. These were followed by more cuttings so that within a year we had over 3000 plants. Thus the miniature Stars 'N' Stripes was born—just in time to celebrate the bicentennial of the USA in 1976... Stars 'N' Stripes is a good grower and quite easy to propagate. In growth habit, it can develop into a bushy plant 15 to 18 inches tall with some specimens being observed as semi-climbing to climbing up to five feet tall. I personally have seen it growing in the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, England and South Africa.
