Breeders need more than  one iron in the fire, and he [Moore] had also been using a purple Moss, 'William Lobb'  . A cross 'Pinocchio' x 'William Lobb' had given a promising seedling; and when that seedling received the pollen of 'New Penny', it produced the first mossy Miniature in 'Fairy Moss'. This was introduced in 1969, and was rose red.

Fairy Moss was the first of the miniature moss roses. Bud and flower are bright medium pink and are produced all season long on a low very bushy plant. While this first miniature moss rose is only lightly mossed it is of value not only for its abundance of flowers but also sets seeds readily and so has value for breeding. Parents: #12-59-10 x New Penny.
