‘Oakington Ruby’, found by C. R. Bloom in an old garden of Oakington, near Cambridge, England, was introduced in 1933. Ralph Moore used it for several of his most important foundation crosses. Mr. Moore’s lovely ‘Yellow Jewel’, ‘Janna’, and ‘Windy City’ can be traced back to ‘Oakington Ruby’.,

p17.  R. multiflora -- Some minatures inherit vigor and multiflowered sprays from Rosa multiflora, usually through the hybrid polyantha shrub 'Cecile Brunner' an old rose introduced in 1881. For example, miniature 'Cinderella' is 'Cecile Brunner' x 'Tom Thumb'; and 'Baby Betsy McCall' is 'Cecile Brunner' x 'Rosy Jewel'; both hybrids show multiflowered sprays characteristic of the multiflora rose species. 'Pink Clouds'. a primary hybrid of miniature 'Oakington Ruby' x R. multiflora is used at Sequoia Miniature Rose Nursery as understock for their mini tree roses. Older books list R. multiflora as R. polyantha. An interesting strain of R. multiflora is offered as R. multiflora nana in some seed catalogues, such as Geo. W. Park Company. The seed produces charming bushy mini roses, 8 to 15 inches tall, with clusters of white to deep pink flowers, usually single but some with almost double petals.

p57.  R. multiflora nana is a dwarf strain of the common species multiflora rose so often used as a living fence. Seeds of R. multiflora nana germinate easily and soon produce bushy plants with a spring display of single to almost double fragrant flowers, white to dark pink. This is fun to grow but is inferior to modern hybrids in its ability to last and in its blooming season.

Wayside Garnet was offered  for years in the famous colour catalog of Wayside Gardens and thus a widely grown mini. The flowers are long lasting, look like a large 'Red Imp' but the variety is actually a sport of 'Oakington Ruby'. The bushy 15 to 20-inch multibranched stems carry clusters of flat-centered three-quarter to 1 inch garnet red flowers, which appear very blue toned if seen next to true scarlet flowers.
