Ne Miniature Roses
1937 — 1997

Sequoia Nursery was founded by Ralph
Moore on February 28, 1937 with $800, a
few hundred rose bushes, and a dream. A
general nursery at first ~ rose breeding was
the top priority. Mr. Moore soon bred and
introduced the first “bred in America” minia-
ture roses — which became the basis for the
American Miniature Rose Industry.
Ralph Moore Through his vision and guidance, over
400 miniature and other rose hybrids have
been developed and introduced by Sequoia Nursery. Many have been grown
world-wide and several have been used by other breeders to develop their own
varieties.
From our innovative breeding here at Sequoia Nursery have come many new

miniatures, repeat flowering bush type, moss roses, mini and other type climbers
and striped roses. Also, such varieties as ‘Playgirl’ (F), ‘Topaz Jewel’ (yellow
rugosa). ‘Linda Campbell’ (red rugosa), the new ‘Red Fairy’ (Pol) and others have
originated here. '
Recently we have developed a new rse line we call HALO™ Roses. See front
cover for the newest in this group named ‘HALO™ Sunrise’.
In recognition of his work over the years, Ralph Moore has been the recipient
of the ARS Gold Honor Medal, The Dean Hole Medal (Great Britain), Australian
Rose Society Gold Medal, and the Gold Medal of the World Organization of Rose
Societies, plus numerous other honors, including the Research Award (1987) of
the California Association of Nurserymen.
So we here at Sequoia Nursery are proudly introducing for your enjoyment our
most recent developments — all specially selected to honor our 60th Anniversary.
