Hi There -
I'm a Consulting Rosarian (American Rose Society) and believe I can shed
a little light here.
Roses that are yellow, or even have a hint of yellow in their heritage
are more susceptible to disease than their blushing cousins. Just
because. Like you are more susceptible to hives if you are allergic to
strawberries.
No, minis are not from a single source. They are grown on their own root
stocks, and propagated by cuttings or seed.
Hope that helped!
