| I am getting ready to do a complete overhaul of my front flower bed. After I put in all the shrubs, I want to plant mini roses. I want to plant some that are in the red/orange colors. I'd like to find some that will grow about 1 to 1 1/2 feet, if possible. Does anyone have any suggestions that will grow well in OK? They will be in full sun all day as the garden faces the south and it gets VERY hot. Watering them is no problem and I plan to mulch. Thank you. |

| Thanks for the recommendations. I just received a Nor'East catalog in the mail yesterday. I also skim through and quickly circle what catches my eye, then go back and check the details. Oddly enough, I had circled Denver's Dream and Bambino. I will likely order from them. I just wish the weather would straighten up. Thank you. |

| I got Denver's Dream last year and wasn't impressed, maybe it was just establishing. It could be the location? Anyway this year will be the telling year for it in my garden. It seemed a little more prone to BS than some of my other roses. I do spray preventively for fungus. Time will tell. My friend, Janis, has several Bambino's and they are hardy, have pretty bright blooms, and are producers. |

| Does anyone know anything about the mini climber, Pink Above All? The catalog says it blooms all season. How long does Bambino bloom? Thanks for the replies. |

| I live in Missouri just north of Kansas City. Here are a few mini/mini-floras that grow well for me: Robin Alonso--superb dark red. Denver's Dream--gorgeous orange that needs a year to establish itself. Autumn Splendor--Striking yellow/red blend that grows vigorously and bushy and is loaded with wave after wave of perfectly formed blooms all year long. Great rose!! Ricky Hendricks--very pretty dark pink/lighter red. Camden--really nice and hardy growing purple. Saluda--Beautiful orange melon colored blooms on a bushy bush. I counted over 85 blooms on this bush per flush last year. Dr. John Dickman--Vigorous growing tall disease resistant bush that blooms profusely for me. My two bushes grew to 6' tall last year. Leading Lady--For me this is more floribunda than mini-flora. Huge 5' bush with tons of white/pink center blooms that are as large/larger than any floribunda bloom in my garden. Sassy Cindy--4 1/2' tall red blend from Bridges you would love. Charismatic--Lovely heavy blooming bush with medium pink flowers that last for 2 weeks on the bush. Can't go wrong ordering this one!!
