Good question. I just received it in the mail today, and was making my labels when I couldn't find it on here. I went back to their website, and see that they also list it as Red Cascade. It's very confusing though, because they say it was found growing on a farm in Alachua, FL...where Red Cascade was bred by Moore.
Here's the link:

I gave this rose to Rose Petals nursery with the found name of "Alachua Red Cl."
In the early 1990s I found this rose growing with other old garden roses on a farm in Alachua County, Florida, The owner said that she had grown it for many years and that it was not a modern rose. I had a small wholesale nursery and sold it as "Alachua Red Cl."
I met William Welch at lecture he was giving on old garden roses at Disney World. I had been asked by Disney to supply some potted rose to be used as props at his lecture. Mr. Welch told me that he also encountered a similar rose when rose rustling old gardens in Texas.
Red Cascade has a reputation as a "mildew magnet" when grown in Florida. "Alachua Red" does not get mildew.

Height of 1' to 18" (30 to 45 cm). Width of 6' to 8' (185 to 245 cm).
This height listing seems confusing and to only apply when grown as a groundcover I suppose? Many photos show a very tall rose when grown as a climber.

Red Cascade is a prostrate of cascading climber. It can be grown in hanging baskets, as a ground cover rose to trained up against a wall or trellis. Blooms are prolific after the plant reaches full size. This is a remarkably useful landscape rose.
