More information

This miniature cultivar was the first of the modern striped roses. Ralph Moore used the historic striped remontant hybrid ‘Ferdinand Pichard’ to introduce striping into his miniature roses, and subsequently other breeders have used Stars’n’Stripes to produce hundreds of striped varieties since 1980. The blooms are predominantly white with crimson stripes and spots. They are borne on long, graceful shoots in clusters of 3–5 across the plant. The foliage is neat, dark green, and the shoots are nearly thornless. The plant is upright and graceful; in hot climates it can reach 1.5 m. Petals persist on the plant for an extended period and tend to wither in place.

Elongated buds open to red-and-white striped flowers with 21 petals. They appear in clusters and are sweet-scented. The foliage is light green and the bush is upright. This rose enabled Moore to incorporate striping into his breeding line. The variety had a significant role in the development of other striped varieties.
