What a gorgeous rose? The fact that she was custom propogated for you is even more special

This is spectacular Sheila. What a gorgeous rose.

Very pretty, and I like the foliage.

Lady Moss is VERY mossy and the blooms are beautiful. I would imagine it would also be fragrant?

Ingrid, I'm not sure. My nose is so useless.

How marvelous, Sheila! I'm so glad this beauty is still around. Seeing it for the first time in the Sequoia greenhouses all those years ago was so exciting! It's hard to believe the seed parent was Fairy Moss.

Kim, Fairy Moss looks very small.

William Lobb is in there too. Mine had his first bloom today.

Wow, Sheila! Lady Moss is really something special.

Fairy Moss IS quite small and there was one even smaller, Kara https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.3575 That line began with the Pinocchio X William Lobb cross. Mr. Moore grew that monster beside one of the green houses. The trunk was massive and the canes were thick and long with dense prickles. They kept it whacked off at the peak of the green house. Who knows how much larger it could have grown otherwise. Crossing that with New Penny created Fairy Moss. Pollinating Fairy Moss with Gabriel Noyelle created Lady Moss.

Your knowledge is remarkable, Kim! That Kara is adorable too.

Lady Moss made new friends with volunteer foxgloves.

It's absolutely beautiful! I really love moss roses, they are among the most carefree in my garden. They are in the most beautiful stage right now - buds just starting to open, so you can see all the moss really well. So pretty!
