I saw a great miniature rose garden at Heirloom Roses, but I coulnd't make up my mind which ones I wanted and didn't have a way to take them home on the plane, anyway.

Now that I am home, I wonder what happens when we get a foot of leaves falling and the roses get covered up. How on earth would you get leaves out of the roses? Especially miniature roses. Seems as if they would catch a lot of leaves as they blow around. Even if I wait until spring, it seems like it would be a horrible job.

Is there a secret?
