I have those two in our back yard in pots. They're great little roses.

If you plant them now, plant them where they'll get at least 6 hours of sun a day, mulch them well and don't give them any fertilizer with nitrogen until next spring. You might want to look for a sheltered spot in your yard.

I'm in zone 9 even and my husband got me 2 also. I put them in a bright window sill and one died. I put the other outside and it's flourishing in the ceramic pot I transplanted it to. Come to think of it, 'bout the only potted rose I ever got to grow beyond a climber I then planted in the ground after we moved. It's doing well in the pot but I am rethinking putting it in the ground this month. We do get some frosts here in central CA. I think I'd take Kathya's advise. :)

Kordana Minis are "Throw away Roses" in Europe after they finished blooming.
These are bred to bloom just once, but you may try them outside.

No True! I have a Cinderella Kordana that has done quite well over the years. It's surprisingly hardy.

I had it in a plastic pot outside and I neglected it. I truly thought it was dead and I sorta was lazy and forgot about it. When I went to throw out the pots and things in that area of my backyard I found it GROWING the next spring. And it really grew quite nicely, so I put it in the ground and it has bllomed quite nicely for me this last year.

ok I'm confused, one says plant the other say don't plant outdoors hey for 10 bucks I guess I have to do trial and error...lol

These are regular roses and will do very well outside. I have many minis planted in the ground that survive my winters for years and years. Roses are not house plants EVER! They should be outside whether potted or planted. They'll do great either way.

I've gotten throw away minis and if you give them room to grow, they give you quicker rebloom then normal size roses. You might also end up scouring the stores for when they're on $1 clearance.
