Keeping Mini Roses Alive

RE: Keeping Mini Roses Alive Post By Joy (Guest Post) (08/09/2007) 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 did take it outside in a sunny area, and it has come back! woo-hoo! RE: Keeping Mini Roses Alive Post by Jantoo (395) | (08/08/2007) Contact 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.

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!
