I wish my Candy Stripe had stripes like this!

I've grown 'Candy Stripe' before and the stripes always came distinctly like in Beth's other photos. Perhaps the clone used in Australia was more stable, or there was poor selection in the US by some nurseries? The 2008 photo from member Edgecrusher also from Australia is typical of what I remember 'Candy Stripe' looked like for me.

This isn't Candy Stripe, but Candy Stick (Modern Times), a striped sport of Better Times.

We must have the wrong one in Australia! I see that 'Modern Times' is also called 'Candy Stripes' in South Africa, so perhaps easy to get confused. Actually, being a sport that ultimately goes back to 'Columbia' makes it even more interesting. Thanks, Kim, for the heads up!

I hope Beth will migrate (reassign) this picture over to Candy Stick because there is no image on HMF.

I have to say the photos here under 'Modern Times' do look the same as what I grew as 'Candy Stripe'.

It would be nice if any of the media reporting on the poison mushroom case had mentioned the rose gardens of Morwell, but I didn't see any comment. The roses are everywhere - through the centre of the township, beside the railway station, in the centre of a roundabout.

Unfortunately it is time to make the plant list of Ruston's Roses a historic archive. Many of the remaining plants of the HRIA Tea collection have been dug up, and we hope they will survive transplanting. The rest are to be demolished.
Rockhill's plant list should be removed, as she died several years ago, and I think Cree is no longer with us either.
