RE: transplanting

Whew, good "move" Patti. 

How are your roses looking ?

Don't know if this will help, but I just found this, 
a site that is dedicated to miniatures.

Other rose sites of interest:

http://www.vintagegardens.com/
http://www.halcyon.com/cirsium/rosegal/welcome.htm
http://www.edmundsroses.com/
http://hortico.bigwave.ca/

I myself have not ordered from any of these sites.
