| I have lived in my current home for just over 2 years and have just found interest in the wonderful gift of a rose garden on the south side of my home. One of the roses is what I think may be a mini rose bush, it is low to the ground and has tiny white flowers and dark green leaves. Almost a trailing effect. Any pointers on what to do with it? Also might be helpful say it is next to the chain fence and a huge climbing rose bush. Should I get a small trellis? Prune specially to encourage growth? Any help would be great I am new to this. Thanks... |

| Without seeing a picture it almost sounds like you are describing is a ground cover rose or like you say a climber. You may want to go out to HelpMeFind web site and you may be able to identify it. As far as special care for mini roses, there is none. I treat mine like any other of my roses. You may also want to post your question with a picture on the Rose Gallery forum. |

| I received 4 miniture rose bushes when my Father recently past away. They have bloomed all summer, so I know he was taking care of them because I do not have a green thumb at all. I took off the dead blooms every two days, I had lots of roses that took their place. They are in a very large unmovable pot in my rock garden, how do I winterize them for the long cold and windy Northern Alberta Winter. If I cut them back and them wrap them with a burlap material, will they survive. Your help would be greatly appreciated. |
