Keeping Mini Roses Alive

By Joy (Guest Post)

I got one as a gift, too. it has done well outside for the past 2 years, even through winters in PA. But this year, a little bunny ate the whole thing, leaving only a stick. But who knows, maybe it will still come back. Hope springs eternal!

I received one for my bday last month, and within a couple of weeks it was dead (I thought). I did take it outside in a sunny area, and it has come back! woo-hoo!

Twenty years ago I planted a red rose bush on the south side of the house and never saw it again. I thought it had died over the first winter. This spring I pushed aside the pink rose bush next to it, and there it was, happily blooming away. I swear it wasn't there before.

I have always planted my mini roses outside. Some I have had for 10 years or more, I just care for them like any other rose. Hubby just bought me three more at the buy one get two free sale at the local Big Y. I love them.

Yes, I have one I've had for several years - it loves the outdoors. People tend to think, as I once did, that miniature roses are delicate houseplants, but they're not. Thanks for sharing, and God bless you!
