It is a low growing red rose with a yellow center. I want to remember Ralph Moore who died in 2009 at the age of 102. I met him many years ago at his Sequoia nursery in Visalia. He recognized my enthusiasm for his minia- ture roses and invited me to the back of the nursery where he showed me how to graft and hybridize roses. His nursery had tidy areas but it was also most- ly overgrown. It certainly was not the typical retail store with gallon containers neatly displayed; but, someone's active business, clearly a place where passions were pursued. The watered plants that had not been purchased grew out of their contain- ers along with the weeds. They both had moved in to stay. Mr. Moore had several guard cats on the property too. They followed me around hoping for a smooth stroke on their backs. They apparently enjoyed Mr. Moore's nursery as much as he did. I later learned that he was the most awarded rose breeder ever. He developed more than 400 varieties of miniature roses. His gift to the world was his stock of breeding plants, his 80 rose patents and his library to Texas A&M University's horticultural sciences department. I am so proud to have had the honor of meeting him and will always remember his enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge with me. The Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public. The program at 12:5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 30, will be 'Arrangements and Table Settings' by Erlyne Owens of the Cas- cade Arranger's Guild.
