Will The Real Candy Stripe Please Stand Up. Richard Walsh, Ashtonfield, NSW
One of the good things about getting into gardens before the main flush is at its best is that you often see the early blooming roses that are often finished when you get there. This happened in many of the gardens I saw in Japan, Europe and Ireland. The one exception to this was the rose garden we saw in Osaka adjacent to the show venue. It was in full flush and absolutely crowded with visitors. The Japanese bred roses created the best of impressions, but they were in excellent company, with a huge variety of old and new roses from around the world. Two particular roses got me thinking, and I photographed them. They were ‘Candy Stripe’ and ‘Modern Times’. ‘Candy Stripe’ is listed as a sport of ‘Pink Peace’ while ‘Modern Times’ is a sport of ‘Better Times’. The thing that made me sit up and take notice was the fact that the ‘Candy Stripe’ was nothing like the one I grow. On the other hand, the ‘Modern Times’ appeared identical to my ‘Candy Stripe’. I grow both ‘Pink Peace’ and ‘Candy Stripe’ in my garden, quite close to each other.- I have always known of the link between the two, but cannot understand why I had never questioned the authenticity of ‘Candy Stripe’ before.
Consider some of the sports of ‘Peace’, namely Chicago Peace’, ‘Climbing Peace’ and ‘Kronenburg’. When you look at the plants, including growth habit, stems, foliage, types of flower, the relationship is obvious. However, when you compare ‘Pink Peace’ and the rose we grow in Australia as "Candy Stripe’, there appear to be few similarities. The plant habit is different (‘Candy Stripe’ taller, more upright), the shape of the bloom is different (and so is the fragrance) and the stem and foliage are different. The foliage on.’Pink Peace’ is glossy and more rounded, as well as being a different colour green. I mentioned my suspicions at a Sydney Regional meeting and Don Campton, one of the RS of NSW Life Members, who was formerly a long-time rose nursery employee (Hazlewoods in the early years) and who is also credited with budding the the first ‘Peace’ rose in Australia, was present. He had grown ‘Better Times’ many years ago and said he could see the relationship (similarities) between it and the rose we know as "Candy Stripe’. His comment confirmed my opinion that the rose we grow in Australia as ‘Candy Stripe’ is in fact ‘Better times’ [author may have meant ‘Modern Times’] I hope one day that someone with more money than they know what to do with will have DNA tests done on the roses to prove this, but don’t take my word for it, plant the two roses side by side and make your own comparisons.

‘Candy Stripe’. The deep rose-pink buds of ‘Candy Stripe’ are boldly slashed with blush white, and open rather quickly as large intensely fragrant flowers. Growth is slightly above average in height, the leaves matt green. The flowers are carried on long stems for cutting and this is the best way to enjoy this rose, as its bizarre tulip-like stripes are apt to look a bit restless in the garden. ‘Candy Stripe’ was introduced by the Conard Pyle Company in 1963.
