BUCKEYE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Save your loose change, as it adds up quickly. We have an outstanding Spring Conference
coming at the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday, April 21, 2007,
followed by a judges' seminar the next day. All district judges and members are invited to attend.
The seminar will offer a review for judges that need to audit.
The speaker list includes representatives from Mills Magic, Bayer Advanced, the
Scott/Ortho distributor, Jackson Perkins Roses, Horizon new roses, and a modern arrangement
demonstration. The cost includes the conference, hot catered lunch, and admission to the
conservatory buildings.
The brief business meeting will include committee reports, disclosure of the Walter’s gift
invested in the Buckeye District Endowment, motion to use some of the district treasury to fund
educational events at the spring and fall conferences and discussion on a new district trophy.
Please submit to me in writing, (e-mail is okay) any business you want included in the
meeting that will require a motion and vote. This will afford me the opportunity to inform every
club/society president of the impending agenda.
We want to expand our line of communication. I am requesting the presidents submit their
club/society member list to Cheryl Menard, your membership chairman; your three voting
representatives to Jeanette Pavuk, and your silver medal representative to Terri Lady.
Your ideas and assistance are appreciated.

RALPH MOORE - LEADING THE WAY
(Celebrating Ralph’s 100th Birthday on January 14, 2007)
By Jim Hering
Ralph Moore is acclaimed by his peers and by all who know and grow roses as "The Father of
Modern Miniature Roses." He has been described by Tommy Cairns as "Creator, Dreamer,
Great Composer." To that list I would add Philosopher. Ralph has authored or been the subject
of scores of articles in "American Rose Annual" and "American Rose" over the past 60 years,
and throughout there is a consistent theme of his philosophy of breeding roses and of life.
MOORE PHILOSOPHY: The following quotes are lifted from articles Ralph has written.
On Goals: "I wanted Miniatures in the full color range of the Hybrid Teas. Bud form should
resemble that of the best Hybrid Tea. Plants must be hardy, vigorous, easy to grow and easy
to propagate. I wanted compact, well-rounded plants with good foliage and heavy flower
production."
On Creativity: "I happen to be one of those people who do not believe that our universe, our
world, or even a new cultivar of rose just ‘happened’ by accident or is the result of the whim of
‘natural causes.’ All we are and do is laid upon the foundation of those who have preceded or
are co-workers with us. The plant breeder-scientist is, as it were, one of ‘the called of God’ to
help explore some of the wonders and mysteries of nature."
On Miniatures: "A rose is a marvel of ingenuity and the miniatures lack none of this marvel in
that they, as a group, have retained all that makes the larger roses so loved. Miniatures also
have petiteness and charm not found in any other type of rose."
On Colors: "For a long time, in fact ever since I was a small child, rainbows have fascinated me.
I have loved the soft, subtle blending of colors in rainbows. On the other extreme, the bold
bright colors, the sharp, distinct delineation of colors, have excited me. They continue to
fascinate and excite me."
On Breeding: "There is no trick; there is no magic involved in producing any new rose,
miniature or otherwise. All that we call new is but the old in a different combination. These
principles and the materials are basically the same – today, or in that yesterday we call Creation.
God is the same yesterday, today and forever."
On Being a Hybridizer: "Being a breeder of new roses is an interesting
and exhilarating occupation. As such, one deals with beauty, patience,
invention – with science and art. One must be able to see the as yet
unseen, to dream dreams, to create – and yet not to expect too much
nor take oneself too seriously."

On Temperament: "Each bit of effort, each failure or disappointment, each triumph along the
way should be part of the total effort to glorify God."
On Talent: Just as the conductor of an orchestra wields his baton or as a painter uses his brush
– one to paint a picture in sound, the other on canvas, "this is exactly what the skilled plant
breeder does with living plants. He must know as much of the science as possible, but he must
‘feel’ as the artist or the director."
LIFETIME OF MOORE ACHIEVEMENT
Present day miniatures had their start with the discovery of a little pink miniature rose, Rouletii,
in Switzerland in 1918. About 1936, John deVink of Holland crossed Rouletii with Gloria Mundi
to produce a dark red mini subsequently named Tom Thumb. In 1938 Ralph crossed Carlyn
Dean, one of his Polyantha seedlings, with Tom Thumb producing Zee. Although Zee was never
placed in commerce, it formed the basis for his marvelously successful breeding program. About
the same time Dancing Doll, a sister seedling of Carolyn Dean, was crossed with Oakington
Ruby resulting in Cutie, the first "made in America Miniature".
Ralph crossed, inter-crossed and back-crossed many varieties, types, unnamed seedlings and
even several wild species, gradually assembling bits of knowledge, proving or disproving theories
and acquiring the all important know-how. Because of the diversity of material used in his work
over the years, new forms and colors as well as new types of plant habit emerged. Miniatures
are used almost exclusively by Ralph as the pollen (male) parent in his breeding, and Zee and
Oakington Ruby have been his favorites over the years. The floribunda, Little Darling, has
been one of his most frequently used seed (female) parents. Most of the miniature roses in
commerce today have Zee, Oakington Ruby and/or Little Darling in their family tree.
The breeding efforts of Ralph Moore were intended to not only breed varieties with good plants
and flowers of desirable forms and colors, but varieties which will root easily and in the shortest
time. He has been a proponent of cutting propagation for these reasons: 1. There are no
"sucker" problems. 2. Where winter damage may kill the plant top, any new shoots originating
from the roots will be the true variety. 3. The propagation of cuttings can be almost a year round
operation. 4. There is much less chance that the plant will be infected with virus as long as
the cutting is taken from a virus-free mother plant.
Ralph has explained that striped roses can originate 1. as sports or mutations, 2. as a result of
certain viruses, or 3. from a genetic source of striping. Those originating as sports have a
tendency to revert to the original varieties from which they sported and do not pass on the
striping characteristic to the offspring. Those caused by viruses lose their stripes when
heat-treated; thus, the striping is not an inheritable genetic trait. He offers that it was his good
fortune some years ago to discover an apparent genetic source of stripes that was inheritable
when he used pollen from Ferdinand Pichard on flowers of Little Darling. Ralph is particularly
proud of his "breakthrough" roses like the mossed rose Kara, the striped Stars and Stripes, the
fertile yellow Rise ‘n Shine, Green Ice, which brought the color green into the miniature rose
line, and more recently his "halo" roses. Nearly every domestic miniature rose variety contains
traits of crosses Ralph has made over the years. During his career he has introduced more than
400 miniatures.

BIRTH OF THE AWARD OF EXCELLENCE
Without a doubt, the vast number of Ralph’s miniature introductions, and their popularity with the
rosegrowing public in the decades following World War II, influenced the American Rose Society
to establish the Miniature Rose Testing Program, and the Award of Excellence to recognize
miniature rose hybridizing of distinction. Of the initial ten honorees in 1975, nine were Ralph
Moore introductions: Beauty Secret, Toy Clown, Lavender Lace, Judy Fischer, Mary Marshall,
White Angel, Magic Carrousel, Over the Rainbow, and Sheri Anne. In the thirty-plus years of the
program, Ralph has had more AOE winners than any other hybridizer (20), the most recent being
Playgold in 1998.
In 1999 ARS established the Miniature Rose Hall of Fame to honor outstanding miniature roses
that have been in commerce for at least twenty years. Of the eighteen inductees to date, one
third have been Ralph Moore introductions, again more than any other hybridizer; and five of the
six were previous AOE winners.
IN CONCLUSION
Ralph states, "These tiny gems of the rose world have come about because of a dream – a
dream which refused to go away." His list of his favorite roses includes Beauty Secret, Magic
Carrousel, Rise ‘n Shine, Judy Fischer, Mary Marshall, and Millie Walters. "But my true
favorite is the one I haven’t made yet. It is still only a dream. It is perfect." The late Bob
Whitaker described Ralph’s career as a "Man from La Mancha" journey to reach the
"unreachable stars" of roses.

Advantages OF Exhibiting New Roses

Advantages OF Exhibiting
New Roses
Richard J. Anthony
Poland, Ohio
RJA4CPA@aol.com
Is there an advantage in exhibiting new roses? In my opinion there is a distinct advantage
especially if other exhibitors do not have the particular variety that you are entering in a rose
show. This advantage, assuredly, becomes more pronounced when the judges are not familiar
with the rose, either. Let’s examine the logic for this assumption.
At any given rose show, whether it be a national, district or a local rose show, there are only so
many blue ribbons that will be awarded. Let us assume you grow Dr. John Dickman, a fantastic
mauve miniflora with exceptional form and quilled petals. Almost every exhibitor also grows
Dr. John Dickman and most of them grow many multiples of this fine rose.
In order to be considered for queen of show, the rose must be awarded a blue ribbon. A local
show might have five or more Dr. Dickman's and a district rose show twice that many. When five,
ten or even twenty or more Dr. John Dickman’s are entered in a rose show, chances are very,
very good that one or more of the entries are going to be exceptional; perfectly round with a high
center, substance that demands you look at the rose more than once, and perfectly straight
stems with shiny dark green foliage.
Considering this scenario, which many of us have encountered on more than one occasion, it
should become readily apparent how difficult it is to garner a blue ribbon with a rose that has
been in commerce for more than a few years. Moving from local to district and to a national rose
show only compounds the difficulty. This is not to suggest or imply that Dr. John Dickman should
not be entered in rose shows, but rather to explain the difficulty in winning a blue ribbon with a
rose that most exhibitors grow.
Now, if you happen to have one of those specimens that we have all had from time to time, the
ones that have a tendency to improve significantly the more often you tell the story to your
exhibitor friends or anyone else that will listen, then it really doesn’t matter. Chances are your
Dr. John is going to be awarded a blue ribbon because the bloom is exceptional and better than
you have ever grown it previously. Needless to say, it had queen written all over it and at
minimum will be on the court.
Repeat this situation another ten to twenty times with other roses that most exhibitors have been
growing for two or more years, and the picture should become crystal clear. The roses that have
been awarded a blue clearly are high quality roses with several that potentially could win queen
at any other show. The problem as I see it is a lack of competitive advantage. Yes, the best rose
at any given show is going to win queen, but you can improve your chances of winning if you
subscribe to the philosophy that exhibiting a new rose does have merit. In some, if not all
instances, this new rose can provide the exhibitor with a competitive advantage over the other
blue ribbon winners at the rose show.

At Indianapolis with Ty it was the coloration, a vibrant bright yellow that captured the judges
attention. At York with Memphis Blues, a near perfect color match to Dr. John Dickman, it was the
form. Memphis Blues does not quill and the petals tend to reflex perfectly. I was fortunate to clerk
at both shows, and in both instances the judges were not familiar with either rose. This is not to
suggest or imply that other roses were better, but merely to emphasize that a new rose that is
equal or slightly better than other blue ribbon winners has a significant advantage. That
advantage is novelty, which is best defined as original or striking. The rose stands out favorably
when compared to the other blue-ribbon winners that are placed on the table.
If you were to ask some of the judges, as I have done, about the two roses referred to above,
chances are they would confirm that both roses stood out as they were being judged for queen of
show. This novelty or competitive advantage, in my opinion, often can be the difference between
queen and a lesser position on the court, just as much as it can be the difference between a blue
and a red ribbon. Call it novelty, a competitive advantage, or refer to it as the WOW factor, one
thing is certain: some new roses have it. If this were not logical or factual, I strongly doubt
Horizon Roses would have seventy-two reporters reporting on the newest and best
exhibition roses.
All that remains for the exhibitor, if you subscribe to this assumption, is to secure that new rose
before the other exhibitors have it, grow it to perfection, cut it the day before the rose show, and
groom it perfectly, I hope you then will begin to appreciate the logic behind showing new
roses, and the significant competitive advantage they can and often do afford the exhibitor.

Party Girl And Onward
By AJ Sparks
My Miniature-exhibiting journey began with a Party Girl that became a
Queen. She was a creation of Harm Seville. He was the owner of NOR’EAST
Miniature Roses and an avid hybridizer of miniature roses. When he introduced his new miniature
‘Party Girl,’ that he named in honor of his wife, it was an instant success in the Buckeye District
and elsewhere. Although we had wonderful miniatures of good form–Starina, Judy Fischer, Rise
’N’ Shine and others, they would soon start to give up their Queen’s throne at rose shows and
become recipients of lesser awards.
The yellow blend miniature rose ‘Party Girl’ became the exhibitors' dream-come-true for entries
to the rose show-as a single stem entry for Queen-as two of a kind-the lead rose in collectionsas
an English box entry all the same or in a floating bowl etc. she would shine as a winner.
With an in-garden manipulation of a few stems, a real contender for the best spray entry in the
show was almost unbeatable.
Alas! She could at times be a fickle lady. For me, bushes from the nursery would have a plant
that would produce winners over an entire growing season, while a sister plant two feet away,
growing in the same kind of soil and given the same loving care, would never produce a winner.
A known tendency was that plants grown from cuttings from the plant that produced winners
would produce winners, and plants grown from cuttings from the plant that never produced
winners were like their parent: non-winners.
The eighties were good for me and ‘Party Girl.’ She stood tall on the trophy table more than
twelve times in shows around Ohio. Then one day, others came along, and ‘Party Girl’ began to
give way to the new Queens of the show. One was ‘Snow Bride’ and her rein was great. She, too,
had the ability to win in all categories, as a fellow exhibitor soon proved. One day that exhibitor
found ‘Old Glory” to stand as her winning entry.
What followed for me, was a favorite new winning miniature, ‘Fancy Pants.’ Later an outstanding
miniature, ‘Olympic Gold,’ was a love item for me that almost generally became extinct. I liked it
and would win at times with it. I even grew many in pots and passed them on to other growers.
One day at a rose show I was making my entries and had several stems of ‘Olympic Gold’ left
that I didn’t need. A lady exhibitor nearby pointed to them and asked what they were. Lady luck
took me under her wing that day! I gave the stems of Olympic Gold to the fellow exhibitor and
explained to her how to start a cutting. She said she didn’t do cuttings, but her husband knew
how. Now half of the miniatures in my garden are from new started plants and cuttings sent to
me by her husband. He likes to call my miniature garden ‘JZ garden east.’ ‘Olympic Gold’ has
served me well, doubly so.
Moving on! Now that several years of winter in my life have passed somewhat, I have eased
into exhibiting again. The competition is fierce these days, but there are so many new miniatures
coming on the scene that it’s a new love vying for top honors almost every year. Maybe one day
a lasting Queen will emerge.
I will only mention Miniatures that I have grown or seen at rose shows recently. I have liked
immensely-Breath of Spring, Chattooga, Miss Charleston, Soroptimist International, Ty, Caliente,
Heather Sproul, Solar Flair, Cachet, Amy Grant, and of course, My Sunshine a plant that can
light up the whole end of the garden with dozens of sunny blooms throughout the season.

BUCKEYE JUDGES’ CORNER
By Dr. Jim Hering
rosehering@roadrunner.com
We currently have 47 Accredited Horticulture Judges and nine (9) Apprentices in the Buckeye
District. Six of our Accredited Judges are due for a judging seminar this year, and you can check
your seminar status on the roster of Buckeye judges in this issue of the Buckeye Bulletin. There
will be a judging seminar held in conjunction with the Buckeye District Spring Meeting this April at
the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus. The District Meeting will be on Saturday, April 21st,
and the judging seminar will be from 9 am to 1 pm on Sunday, April 22nd at the same location.
Make a note on your registration form if you are coming to the seminar. Refreshments will be
provided, but breakfast and lunch are on your own before and after the seminar. There is no
charge for the seminar, and all rosarians are welcome, not just judges. The seminar will utilize
new power point presentations developed under the supervision of our National Chairman of
Horticulture Judges, Susan Clingenpeel.
Check the roster of Buckeye Judges to be sure that your information listed is correct. If not, contact
me. Also, I want to encourage all rose show chairmen and chairmen of judges to look at the
list and invite one or more Apprentices to help judge your local show. It is also proper for
Apprentices to ask a show chairman or a chairman of judges for an apprentice assignment. We
have nine Apprentices, and they need the judging experience in order to become accredited.
I have received only 23 Judges’ Reports for 2006. That means that 24 Accredited Judges have
not yet sent theirs to me. They were due by January 1st, so if you are one of the 24, please
send your report soon. The report forms were in the last edition of Buckeye Bulletin which can
be found on the web site.
Ron Schwerdt continues to send me monthly updates of ARS Approved Exhibition Names for
new roses which are introduced and updates of a complete list of Mini-Floras. I send these
updates to every Accredited and Apprentice Judge for whom I have an e-mail address. If your email
address is not on the roster, please send it to me.
There has been some confusion around the country regarding which roses are eligible for the
Climber class in rose shows. Climbing Hybrid Teas, Climbing Floribundas and even Climbing
Miniatures have at times been entered in the Climber class. In order to eliminate the uncertainty,
the National Horticulture Judging Committee will be recommending to the Board of Directors that
only Large Flowered Climbers, Climbing Wichuranas and Climbing Gianteas be eligible for the
Climber class in rose shows. Climbing Hybrid Teas, Climbing Floribundas and Climbing
Miniatures are to be entered in their respective non-climbing classes, even if there is not a bush
counterpart to the climbing cultivar. I will keep you informed of the Board’s decision.
Please make a note on your calendar that the 2007 Top Gun Meeting will be held in Cincinnati on
August 17th & 18th. Details to come later.
