L. A. Wyatt. Strange Raiment. As its name suggests, ‘Candy Stripe’ occurred in the U.S.A. as a mutation from ‘Pink Peace’, in which the dusty pink of the parent appears as stripes and splashes amidst pale pink. The colour arrangement occurs in many other striped cultivars, but this one is blessed with the good growth and freedom of bloom of ‘Pink Peace’. Provided it remains fixed, it should be a very good addition.

p25-3 Roy and Heather Rumsey. New Roses. ‘Candy Stripe’ Said to be a sport of ‘Pink Peace’. Rose pink with lighter stripes, quite attractive if you like striped roses. The growth is good, the stripes, of course, are very variable.

p127-2 Dr. A. S. Thomas. ‘Candy Stripe’ HT. (McCummings, 1963). A sport of ‘Pink Peace’ with nearly 60 petals and it seems, so far, to have better form than the parent. Very clearly defined, almost white stripes on a very deep pink background. Some hundreds of plants, seen in nurseries, have shown no signs of reverting. I would rank this rose and Ambossfunken (Anvil Sparks) as our two best striped roses. An excellent grower.

Mrs. Margaret E. Coon, Ohio. A review of the latest Roses in America.
‘Candy Stripe’. HT. Edward McCummings (sport of ‘Pink Peace’) is truly a novelty, being a red and pink striped sport. Tall growing, it presents a problem of trying to fit it into the general garden plan of reds, pinks and whites. As with ‘Pink Peace’, it does suffer from black spot.
