The flowers of Crested Moss are usually so double that no anthers are present, thus no pollen......However, one spring about 15 years ago, I did find a few anthers on my plant of Crested Moss and dusted the pollen on the blooms of Little Darling (floribunda). A few hips set and seed ripened. Out of this seed lot seven plants grew. One was the pink rose pictured in Fig. 22 and has since been named Crested Jewel (introduced by Tillotsons).

....and very recently I have successfully crossed 'Little Darling' with the 'Crested Moss'. For many years, rose breeders have been trying without success to obtain hybrids between the 'Crested Moss' rose and Hybrid Teas or Floribundas, so this hybrid with the Floribunda 'Little Darling' is the cause of much rejoicing. Seedlings bloomed for the first time in 1966. The unusual 'Crested Moss' rose characteristic has "come through" completely in its expression even though present in only those chromosomes from the pollen parent, 'Crested Moss'. As may be easily seen the flower has much of the fine bud form of 'Little Darling' and relatively few thorns on the stem. It has good foliage and a flower of bright pink colour. The seedling is bright red, very double, but has no anthers and sets no seed.

The bright pink seedling fortunately sets seed. so we have here the start of a new breeding line by which we hope to eventually get Hybrid Tea size flowers of excellent bud form and ever-blooming behaviour.
