I pu t a white mini (I think it was sno cone?) in a whiskey barrel planter and it is beautiful! Does anyone know of any other minis that tend to become very prolific and draping??

Sweet Chariott, love that rose.

I second "Sweet Chariot". Lovely rose, draping and always in bloom.

Nothing is bushier than red cascade. I bought one from Antique Rose Emporium this past march and you wouldn't believe the size for a first year bush. I have cut lots of flowers that last for days. I recrently found a hed of them in gulfport MS at a shopping mall that couldn't be more than a year or so old and they were fantastic. The best part is that the leaves don't yellow and fall off like a lot of minis do in these hot summer days this time of the year. In the deep south here we lightly prune the bushes around Labor Day and feed them and they come back strong by Haloween and last past Christmas. This one is really a great plant.

You might like Green Ice. I have a baby that is really going to town. Its foliage is really thick and very bushy and the flowers are truly unique. They start out as a bud as a very light pink then turn white when they first bloom and finally as they age they become a really pretty shade of green with a really dark green center. This one was blooming when I got it and has never stopped even in our Texas heat. It is supposed to have a cascading habit and mine is already beginning to show signs of it. It really is a fun rose to have.

All of the roses above were hybridized by Ralph Moore and are certainly great roses. Green Ice and Red Cascade are not as upright as Sweet Chariot, but SC eventually reaches a point where it "weeps" beautifully. If you want another white, you might try his 'Little Eskimo'. It's a spreading plant that is always in bloom.
