Is it just me, or are miniature rose varieties disappearing?

| Rose addict that I am, I'm already planning for 2010 and have discovered that miniature rose vendors have either disappeared from the retail market (Nor'East) or are offering more limited in the past (e.g., Heirloom a.k.a. John's Miniature roses). For instance, "Incognito," a particular favorite of mine is no longer available from any source. Likewise Hot Tamale, although I've sourced that rose from another vendor?
Is it just me, or are the miniature roses drying up? Is there anything to be done? |

The Mini market is a lil over 80 years old they didn't get to be this old with out learning anything. Welcome to hard to finds and rare minis 101 Where do you think they got this idea from? ( yep them rare and hard to finds big brothers)
Minis arent going anywhere any time soon but you may have to make some compromises in the immediate future . A good idea for you is to properagte your favorites every third year or so after the 10 year patten rights are expired. Heres one link that will lead you to many rose sellers that also offer minis you'll have to sort em out. Happy hunting http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/sources.html |

| Try Almost Heaven Antique Roses in North Carolina and Two Sisters Roses in Oklahoma. They both had Incognito this spring and probably still do. |

| There was supposed to be a few vendors who were going to sell roses that Nor'East/Greenheart are still growing. I hope we find out who they are soon. Patents are 20 years. |
