| Argh! I thought minis were all supposed to be own root and repeat bloomers... Well, my mini after I spent a bunch of time feeding and nourishing looks fantastic but NO BLOOMS. Ugh! don't tell me that it is a once bloomer... It definitely is not! Dr. Huey. It has a completely different hue and has reverse petals. But darn it, I see no bud formations whatsoever and it's been nearly 2 mos... Is there such thing as a once-bloomer mini? or is this some kind of rootstock over-taker. Again for any who do not know its history, this was a stray abandoned rose I found on my property. |

| Are you sure it is a mini and not just a small rose? As far as I know minis are on own root. I just did a advanced search on HMF and yes there are minis that are once bloomers. You may want to look and see if any match your rose. |

| There also was a time several years ago where J&P and a few others were selling some of their minis budded to an understock. I don't know what they were using, but it was to produce more impressive plants for the nurseries to sell to the public. I currently have my one and only mini sport budded on multiflora since it gave me a better chance to keep the sport alive. |

| I received Fairy Moss in my order from Nor'East last week, and it appears to be budded. Weird. |

| I bud some minis on fortuniana for fun. I know cool roses does this thought it would be fun to try but really is more of a pain than anything else imo, unless I am doing standards. None of my roses with the exception of seq. ballet possibly were all own root ? |

| ugh, again. I can't believe HMF is limiting my search for once-bloomers miniatures... It won't allow me to search any criteria except for one!!!! I can only choose either once-bloomer or small or petal count, but not more than one of these criteria can be selected which make a total of 172 to look for... how frustrating... Yes, my miniature rose is definitely a mini, the blooms are sooo tiny! but they have 20 min. to 26 max. petals max (usually its closer to 24-26)....this is definitely not just a small rose...it's a mini to the tee... Here are the pics again... Help!!! looking4toexist... You have the most prolific miniature collection that I know of.. does this look anything familiar to you?

| My Fairy Moss from Nor'East looks budded, too. Kinda ugly, but we'll see how it goes. |

| sigh, I'm jealous Lucretia1 and Hartwood! even though Fairy Moss has as you describe that "kinda ugly budded look", at least your Fairy Moss is a continual bloomer and not a one-time bloomer... |
