Actually, I do have Queen Elizabeth.  She is listed under "My Complete
List of Roses" under Q.  I really love that rose, and just purchased it
this fall.  I'm worried though.  Reports coming in say it does not hold
up well in our desert heat.  So, I placed it where it gets shade during
the hottest part of the day, and hope that it will do well there.

I have Sun Sprinkles too, in my front yard, but I didn't start listing
mini's on my website until a month or so ago.  I just have not got all
of them listed yet.  I never seem to be able to get caught up on listing
my roses.  Especially this time of year.  They are coming in faster than
I can get them listed.  My first mail order one came in yesterday.  It
is a noisette called Elie Beauvillain.  A stunning old noisette,
delightful fragrance too.  I haven't decided where to plant it yet, so
put it in a bigger pot out in the garden, with 7 5-1/2 foot rose
standards, a Dublin Bay, and a La Marne, that I have not decided where
I'm going to plant....laugh!  Being a roseaholic is terrible you know!

It depends on the Mini climber.  I have one that is over 12 feet tall,
others barely reach 5 feet.  The best thing to do is ask the person you
are buying it from how tall it will get, or doing a web search on one of
the rose databases.  My favorite is http://www.helpmefind.com  It gives
you good info on about any rose ever produced, and tells you where you
can find a supplier to buy it from -- if there is one.  So many have
fell by the wayside...it's depressing sometimes.

Thanks for the compliments on my website!
