    HVH: "'Candy Stripe' blooms with 6-8" pink and white "striped" single flowers. The stripes are bright, distictive white rays in the petals. The bush is lush and leafy, but stays small and grows rather slowly. 'Candy Stripe' is the offspring of 'Rosalind' and 'Fantasy Charm.' Released from HVH in 2008."
