Author Garden: miniature rose question? linda12159 Dream Gardener Member # 3785 posted                       I got this beautiful red miniature rose bush, i want to plant it outside, the label says to cut it back to 3"-4", then plant it. can this be right? it still has flowers on it. when i do cut it, is it the same as regular roses....above a 5 leaf cluster. theres no mention of where the cuts should be....

They did just fine. But that might have been beginners luck cause I certainly didn't and still don't know what I was doing. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.81.179 mike57 Super Gardener Member # 4181 posted                       HI Linda heres a link i found for you on your mini rose bush.they are to be cared for just like a full sized rose bush. http://www.johnsrosegarden.org/BJDstory/advise01.htm it has a lot of imformation abought them.hope this helps.your friend in gardeing.mike57. * * * * No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.

Makes me want to try them again this year indoors. Although I have lost all the ones I have tried to keep indoors so far. Maybe this time? I am such a sucker for a pretty plant. * * * * Plants: 8557 | From: triangle, virginia | Registered: Mar 2005  |  Seeded: 4.249.48.47 Sheri&Kiki Dream Gardener Member # 4823 posted                       I planted my minis about a month ago, didn't cut them back, and they're all doing just fine. They're blooming like crazy! I put them as a front in the rose bed, and it looks pretty nice! * * * * I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
