Re: a mini rose

Nancy,

Thanks for the info! And they never stop blooming? Amazing! The red is
really beautiful with the glossy green foliage. What about the usual rose
diseases--blackspot etc? Any problems with that?

Someone else said these are hardier than ordinary big roses. If so, you
could leave them outside all year. But, if they are not disease-prone, and
are happy indoors, and by leaving them inside over winter you can have
bloom then, that sounds like a perfect situation. I had assumed they would
not like being indoors.

I believe mine came from the floral dept of Kroger or another grocery
store. At least I've seen them there. They are amazingly inexpensive,
$3.99 each or something like that--and no shipping charge <G>! I also
recall that they come in many different lucious colors. Maybe I'll obtain
more.
