Thank you for the video. I have several mini roses in my yard for a few years. But I haven't been successful all the time. A few days ago my daughter gave me two mini roses. She kept them in her apartment for a few days before she visited me. I planted them right away but they were decaying already. One looks dead and the other one looks better. I already bought two more to replace them so my daughter doesn't get sad. Have a great day.
You always answer the questions I've asked and noone else had answered. I've always wondered about those little roses in the grocery store. Thanks for the information. " The tag that most helpfully says 'Rose...'"😂
I have bought several of these mini roses from my local Tesco store and put them in my front garden as a border along my path and they have been and are doing amazing
My mini roses have been growing happily in the ground for 5-6 years. They are hardy enough for my zone 5 climate without any winter protection. Once they are in the ground, they grow like crazy. My mini roses are 70-80cm tall and produce endless blooms throughout the growing season.
I grow those on my balcony for 4 years now without big problems (occasional spider mites is the only I have). They are wonderful plants and propagate easily. Essentially they could be grown as annual culture if you make cuttings in late winter.
I grow them regularly in my balcony too, actually I really enjoy buy supermarket 's mini Roses and then try to make them flourish. Spider mites seem to be a big issue for me though.
I bought four small roses in the Winter (2 were in poor condition, and free) in late Spring (Im in PEI) planted them around the edges of my rock garden (so they had shelter, as well as the heat of the rocks). They have done very well and have been blooming continuously for months. One of the roses is in its fourth year.
My father and mother put two of those kind of mini roses, that came from the supermarket, in the garden more than 10 years ago. They are still going strong and are blooming.
Jason you are looking fantastic, the weight you took off has made you look 10 yrs younger. I have been watching your videos for years. You have the best info out there. Cheers!
This video is so clear and helpful! Thank you. A supermarket had reduced loads of mini rose pots today and they were all wilting in the heat, I rescued one and will plant it :)
Funny. This video was in my recommended list. Looked interesting, so I clicked and watched it. I thought it deserved a thumbs up, went to click, BUT i saw i had already clicked the thumbs up. 😂 completely forgot that I already viewed this video. Still, it is quite informative and am glad for the refresher. ❤
My first rose 😊 Bought some first year of gardening three years ago. Still alive in bigger containers. A splash of color helps when toiling in garden lol
I have always been unable to resist those adorable little mini roses. B/c they are own root it's actually pretty tough to kill them if once they get established; I have a fabulous dusty mauve plant that I've had for ages---probably bought it at the grocery store. It grows like mad, is SO easy to take cuttings from, & smells wonderful. I just recently succumbed to 2 pots of a beautiful silvery lavender from Kordana---no name but smells great. I'm hoping they survive the transition & the sunburn (forgot to open the patio umbrella one sunny day!), & that their color isn't the result of special lighting. I would add one thing to your instructions---introduce them to full sun gradually (like, don't forget to open that umbrella!!).
I love my 3 inexpensive mini tea roses from the grocery. They’ve been well established in my garden for several years now. They bloom early and a lot and repeatedly, so they make nice path decoration for a lot of the year.
Thank you for sharing this so these plants can hopefully be saved from the trash! Seeing plants treated as disposable feels icky to me. I grabbed one of these roses from the curb years ago and they've struggled since. Hopefully now that I understand roses a bit better, I can help them recover. They have an amazing smell, which seems unusual for these grocery store roses.
Thank you Jason for another informative video. When I received mine, that is exactly what I did. 1st up-potted them, and then later I incorporated them in to my garden. They are still doing great and it is 4 years later! 😊
Nicely done! I'm not sure the growers really intend them for the garden - with the millions they grow, but I'd bet they're the first garden rose for many gardeners.
I've had success with these also. I have two that I've grown on in the garden but mine were single plants in the pot, not a group of separate stems. Of course, I have a secret advantage since I live in Roseville, CA. They have to grow well here.
Just got a set of two mini roses (one pink, one yellow) from 1-800-flowers, I opened them as soon as I could, got them watered and outside! Thanks for the tips, I hope to keep my gifts alive!
Yes, they can be transplanted directly into the garden when they seem to be under stress or when they seem only good to throw in the trash. After all, what did I have to lose? I have experimented with transplanting including in super stony but shaded ground and in garden soil and in full sun with temperatures exceeding, during the summer, 33*C (91* Fahrenheit). However, I made sure that there was plenty of water. The roses grew taller than when I had them in pots, more solid and the leaves became even healthier than when they were in pots, the flowers bigger and more abundant in conditions where fertilization was almost non-existent. And one more thing, it resists absolutely ok at negative temperatures like -25*C (-13* Fahrenheit) without additional protection. But yes, the position in which they were transplanted is protected from very strong air currents
Thanks for sharing your experience with these potted roses - I've seen them grow large and beautiful in the garden, and you're right - they take the cold really well.
I bought one at Walmart from clearance section. I separated and put them into ground. All the four rose plants took off. They all are blooming. I hope they survive this winter.
I feel really lucky having done exactly that with my supermarket rose no more than two days before finding this video in yt recommendations. I put it in a pot outside my southfacing window, on top of that AC unit thingy
I lost my mom and need to move soon. The roses i have either going to my cousin or friend. I'm thinking about buying 4 or 5 small potted roses to bring with me. This advice come right on time. A huge thank you!
I got 4 of those early this summer and repotted straight away. 2 survived and 2 dried out. Those were my first roses ever so I think it wasn’t too bad 😂 I will get more next year, I fall in love with mini roses now
I got what looks to be the same miniature rose breed as shown here for valentines day a few years ago and fell in love with them too. I definitely spent more than I thought I would on an indoor light setup for it and it's been thriving from the attention I've been giving it. My landlord asked if I was growing cannabis 🤭This year I bought another, also just labeled 'Rose' but seems to be a different breed than the first being very full and a lovely pastel pink color. Wish I knew more about the breeds that I'm growing, but I get lost in the weeds when I do a search on HelpMeFind 😅 Hope you are having as much fun as I am with the miniatures!
This was super helpful I just purchased 3 mini roses from Trader Joe’s last week end. I repotted them and placed them outside, hoping for the best. I will will a fertilizer tomorrow and I hope that helps
I thought I knew a lot about roses but I've been learning a lot from your channel. Especially these mini roses! I never knew they could actually survive at least from my experience. After watching this video, you've given me the confidence to give them a try.
Jason, I never gave it much thought. But I can see now that they are just young cuttings, so it makes sense that you would up pot and treat as cuttings. Makes me want to go buy and experiment with them.
Thanks Jason for highlighting these! 😃I bought a few last year as I couldn't resist the colours they came in! I put them in my planters to enjoy throughout the summer and I wintered them over. They bloomed all summer long this season as well! Next step and challenge for me might be trying to take a few cuttings. I also put a few in the garden bed itself and one came back and bloomed! 😃😃😃
Miniature roses have always been a downer for me. Thank you so much for explaining them. I atill don't want any, but if I ever get another, I'll do what you have taught us to do. Thank you, Jason.
WOW, your videos are very useful, straight forward, and offer all of the information I need to educate myself concerning my plants. I love this site. Thank you for teaching all of us.
Thank you for a short, straight to the point very informational video. I’ve received many of these over the years and they always died. Now I know why. I have one I’m repotting today and now I know what I’m doing. Excellent video!
Love this helpful video of yours. I do have mini roses which I planted in my garden. They are doing well. I like your idea of replanting the mini roses plants into another pot. Thanks for this idea. 👍💯
i recieved one as a gift and it grew and bloomed very nicely with hardly any brown leaves.....it was kept in my windowsill where there was tons of sunlight and warmth
Great video again, Jason and Lisa. I have a couple of painted minis outside. Flowers low, flowers high. Thanks for teaching me how to propicate through your videos. I will keep watching. Jeremy and Gennifer from Abbotsford 😊
Thanks for this video! I planted my rose straight into the garden and now it is growing well and is on its second bloom. Last year when I did the same, my rose did not survive the winter in UK so I'll see what happens this time.
You showed Crackling Fire and my heart skipped a beat! So glad you presented this information. You may have saved a bunch of very lovely Roses and some with fragrance from the trash. Do you think it would be better to put them in the ground before they get sad looking? Thank you for another cool video! Still need Crackling Fire though!❤
Yes - as soon as you can manage to get them into better conditions will help prevent the decline. Most of these greenhouse-bred minis aren't noted for their fragrance, but I have others (named varieties) in my collection that have quite a nice scent.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm It’s so interesting because they would be own root roses then. That’s really neat! Thanks to you I will look at grocery store Roses differently as I load them in my cart lol! As always Jason, I really appreciate you❤️
Yes they can! But you may have to sacrifice the other ones that are grown too close together. Mine is about waist height now once transplanted into the garden, all thanks to Jason’s advice 😊. The blooms are incredibly long lasting and durable but doesn’t have as much scent as I would have liked. They rarely ever remain miniature though.
Thanks for all the information you provide on your channel. It's been a big help over the past couple years since I discovered you. I received one of these few years ago from my partner and it was also supermarket store buy, only mine was a single plant. I was that person you described as sentimental and not wanting to let something die. I took it as a challenge and now I'm working on familiarizing myself with growing roses, but I had a few questions about these miniatures: First, like yours mine only said 'Rose' on the label and I never discovered the name. What is the miniature you are showing? Also, are there any differences in propagating these smaller guys from cuttings? Are they easy to breed? Again, thank you for what you do!
One of the challenges is that they suppliers don't often identify these roses - so no way to know a name really. I do prefer the named varieties with a proven track record in the garden, and that's what I grow and sell. They're super easy to propagate from cuttings, and suspect there would be no issue with breeding.
My rose is still going strong (on a windowsill), but I prune it and feed it often. Now I'm thinking of getting a fairy rose for the balcony (have no garden). Not sure how that would go. Winters are pretty harsh, so mybe with overwintering inside? I absolutely adore roses, but am currently not in a position to afford a garden 😣
Thank you so much for your educational videos, I do so appreciate them. This past spring I bought some miniature tea roses from home Depot here in Alberta. I did as you showed in your video I repotted the roses into a larger pot, with intentions for placing them out on my patio. One of the repotted plants must have had spider mites as they had lost all of its leaves. I thought that I would just spray it down with safer soap and see how it progressed from there. At the time it was too cold to place the repotted roses outside as it got warmer I put it out on my front step where it had partial sun and shade. They started to recuperate slowly and that gave me great joy and pride. Now I have some beautiful rosebuds coming up and the branches are nice and full with foliage. On Thursday, I gave them their first dose of fertilizer probably too late in the season. My question is now that I have my roses on the right track how do I winter them inside the house?? Thank you so much keep up the great work.
As mentioned in this video, it can be tough keeping roses happy indoors. They're usually happier if they can go partially or fully dormant in the cooler weather, so first I'd let them have a touch of cold outdoors. Roses will take below freezing no problem, it's only once deeper cold sets in (like below -5C) that I'd consider bringing them in. Ideally to as cool a spot as possible. I obviously don't know your layout, but here I'd overwinter in the cooler downstairs rooms or garage by a window. It's cold enough to keep the rose from trying to grow, but stays above freezing. YMMV
I managed to hang on to mine this year - tucked out under a well established rose (gave it an adopted mommy) and it’s bloomed and grown well this summer. Now, how to overwinter…thinking leaf mulch and learn to toughen up. Lol
My little sister got me one of these for my birthday and it has turned out to be one of the most beautiful plants in my garden! I don’t even like mini roses, lol! But these are really beautiful and that sucker is by far the healthiest rose that I own! It makes me so irritated because I have all these really nice David Austin roses, and I’ve spent so much money trying to buy all the good fertilizers for them, and I spent so much time taking care of them.. but this stupid little grocery store rose ended up being completely disease resistant, it’s always super healthy, and it produces like a workhorse!
I got sent one of these little roses through the mail by a friend. A few years and a lot of pruning later it's thriving in a pot on my patio and has tons of flowers that last for ages, but unfortunately have no fragrance
Nothing yet. I'll note the topic. I wouldn't do much except a light trim and removal of any dead, damaged or diseased stems to reduce the chance of rot.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. so I got some mini roses for my patio container garden. I used fox farms ocean forest soil, they love it. I was having a battle with bugs such as Japanese beetles, aphids, and thrips. Deheaded. Removed all dead stuff. Sooooooo I got bioadvanced. Missed the part where it says not recommended for potted plants. THEY FRIED, border line went up in flames. Tried to flush it out, which made them even more mad. I have 3 of these things trying to recover. 1 I trashed. Moving forward can I use the bio advanced at half strength, if not, what do you recommend on potted mini roses.
I've grown these mini (own-root) roses outdoors; there can be as many as 5 rooted cuttings in a pot which may be individually separated, planted in the garden and hilled for winter. Surprised I was to find that some came with a Kordes tag and a name to the variety. A pity they're thrown out because they're perfectly good roses. They do benefit from a cool, dormant period (like any other rose) otherwise; they may not flourish indoors and are susceptible to spider mites.
I put my miniature rose on my aquaponics grow bed that is in my low heat garage over a year and a half ago. Its had spider mites, aphids, leafhoppers…. Any time it gets badly infested I just stripped the leaves, trimmed the stems back and a month later it was recovered! I got a shock though when it sent up some suckers… huge stems (over 1/4”diameter) that rose up to 4ft tall before they got too heavy for the pot/roots that went through the bottom of the pot and tipped it over! 😂
Minis are often rated to zone 5 or 6, but the ones grown for greenhouse aren't really evaluated for garden hardiness, so there's no way to know without trying. It might be better to pick from roses proven for your winters.
Thanks for the info. Looks like it will be easier than I thought to keep these. Do they need to be hardened off, or can you just put them straight outside when the weather warms? AND, if they are put outside into a pot, should they be brought back inside for the winter?
All of that depends on your climate. Here the weather is mild enough now that I wouldn't bother with hardening off, but if you're still getting near-freezing temps it might warrant a short adjustment period. Overwintering also depends on climate. Most minis are hardy to zone 5-6 in the garden (maybe 7 in a pot), so if your area is colder than that, you'll have to offer some level of protection over the winter.
Yeah, my miniature rose bush grave yard is massive. I always thought it was my poor ability, which I guess maybe it was since I didn't know the right things to do for them. I actually have 3 right now that are hanging by a thread, but at least trying to give a bit of new growth. For people who are ready to give up, just keep trying. You really have to get them into the right conditions. They may even need a serious cut down if they show signs of disease. Just don't use dirty pruning shears, clean them first.
All the ones which I bought myself a while ago at the local grocery store are still blooming like crazy, in slightly larger pots. I'm planning to get them into the ground at a new property as soon as some trees get cut down & I can do more weeding & collecting of years of neglected dead branches etc. Since the tall blackberries are fantastic in what is otherwise a mess, I assume that the soil is great below the deep debris. I plan to put a soft delicate ground cover over the area where the roses will be put, already have 180 potted plants moved to the large shed on the lot since we now get colder rain & winds here in my area. Most of August was like Fall! Should I separate the roses at planting next week or leave them clumped in groups as they are now? Are they as touchy as larger roses as to how deep to set them into the soil?
Some people divide, and that's fine but personally I don't see an issue with leaving them in a clump. Plant the crowns at soil level. Sounds like you have some work cut out for you!
Got lucky and got a load of these little babies from a big box store $5.00/ea on the day they came in no stress showing at all. They went directly into containers or the ground and have been blooming all summer. I find them hardy in the ground in my zone 6. Do you think they would survive the winter outside in a container in my zone? Thanks!
Borderline, I'd say. If you can manage to shelter the pots away from excess moisture and cold wind (against the side of the house or similar) that may help. Also, if you see a forecast for a short stretch of extreme cold, you can put them inside (garage would be perfect) for just that weather system, and move them right back out afterwards.
I live in southern Alberta and I was wondering if I should leave them outside, in the pot, over winter or will they be fine in the extreme winter conditions . (I revived them when they were near death!)
Nice video. What can I do to prevent spider mites aphids and leaf hoppers? I just bought two and I’m really into preventing or pro active approach vs reactive after the fact. I just heard about neem cake for pest control but haven’t tried it yet. What do you think? Any suggestions for pest control? Ty for your very informational videos
Thanks. Neem is not a complete control by any means. Here I'll link a couple of videos I've made on aphids, spider mites and pest control: ua-cam.com/video/mI5zowOac6I/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/_ntAnbHy8qQ/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/eNWDdSOILjM/v-deo.html
I just got some of these today because I love them and I've tried to keep them indoors. They always die. You said these aren't well rooted so would rooting hormone mixed in water with some legit nutritious potting soiladded to what's already in the little pot work better?
Advise for mini roses (tag said kordana I think) in a norther great lakes region? 4a/4b region. Idk if they can stay outside 😅 I got them in June for national rose month when my kids suckered me into them, they've been pretty healthy so far, but I want to keep them. They're in a pot now. I was unsure if I should bring them inside or how to overwinter them.
They're unlikely to survive in a pot outside in zone 4. A sheltered position in the ground is still pretty iffy (many minis are hardy to zone 5 or 6), so your best bet is to keep them in a larger pot and bring them in during deep cold (anything well below freezing). It can be tough to maintain good condition in the warmth of the house, but I've had decent luck bringing them into a cooler room like a garage or basement. If you do that once they're fully dormant, they won't need a lot of light. For best results, I only keep them inside during the worst of the cold and then put them straight back outside - even in cooler weather bordering on freezing. It's just the much deeper cold that can damage their tissues.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you Jason! going to grab it right now. I appreciate your videos and that as I’m on the island, your comparable climate. Thanks again!
It depends on your winter. Most minis are hardy to zone 5 or 6 on average, and in a reasonably sized pot you should allow for at least a 1 zone buffer - which means they'll probably get through a zone 7 winter with little protection.
Once I move the roses from the small store pot to a larger pot and put outside, how long should it stay in the larger pot before I plant it in the ground? Thank you
So I got one a few days ago … beautiful now ? Not AS much but she still cute but now that you pointed out it’s like 4 pieces okay …I did repot it cause it looked to big for itself and as for outside I have it in my balcony in my lower Texas It’s in shock? Me too buddy that’s why I got you ..okay…so I actually cut several of its flower heads right now before you said “only after they bloom” and I paused but Iva also hear people say it helps focus nutrients …it also had a lot and it look like the neck of some of the flowers were dying anyways …it had like 17 or more roses head …decapitated like 6 but felt like more also getting rid of yellow leaves (using nail clippers) uuh I watered it with some miracle grow as I watered the rest of my plants …but I don’t know how long it’ll take to adjust so here hoping it makes it
I did the same with a pot of yellow miniature rose. After I transplanted it outside and it made new leaves and buds, the new flowers are now orange instead of yellow. Is it because of my garden soil, have I put too much fertilizer?
Sink them in the ground up to zone 5 - fertilize with a 15 40 15 or , 20 20 20 often , they do AMAZING things I manage to get then to produce big blooms BIG - they are very cost effective
I got them for Mother’s Day 7 years ago , planted it by the edge of my front door in zone 5 and it’s still growing … adorable .
I'm glad to read that. I planted some that's thriving my south facing zone 5 bed. I hope they come back
What conditions are they in? What do you do for them in winters?
Roses can live like trees if you take a good care of them, because the only important thing they need it's water especially in summer.
Thank you for the video. I have several mini roses in my yard for a few years. But I haven't been successful all the time. A few days ago my daughter gave me two mini roses.

I already bought two more to replace them so my daughter doesn't get sad. Have a great day.
I bought my mini rose at Safeway three years ago and put it in a pot in my vegetable garden and it is still alive big and beautiful lol
You always answer the questions I've asked and noone else had answered. I've always wondered about those little roses in the grocery store. Thanks for the information. " The tag that most helpfully says 'Rose...'"😂
I suppose it's better than the ones that say "Tropical Plant" but only marginally!
Right! Like buying plants from the grocery store that says "Foliage."
I have bought several of these mini roses from my local Tesco store and put them in my front garden as a border along my path and they have been and are doing amazing
I'd love to see more videos on miniature roses...specifically propagating 😊
My mini roses have been growing happily in the ground for 5-6 years. They are hardy enough for my zone 5 climate without any winter protection. Once they are in the ground, they grow like crazy. My mini roses are 70-80cm tall and produce endless blooms throughout the growing season.
how are you cutting them on early spring?
I grow those on my balcony for 4 years now without big problems (occasional spider mites is the only I have). They are wonderful plants and propagate easily. Essentially they could be grown as annual culture if you make cuttings in late winter.
Thanks!

Thank you Jason. Now I know why I can’t ever keep them alive and what to do to change that. Thanks again. 🌺💚🙃
Planted a mini rose from ALDI cost £2.29 and it is now 3ft tall and covered in a mass of beautiful roses.
My father and mother put two of those kind of mini roses, that came from the supermarket, in the garden more than 10 years ago.
They are still going strong and are blooming.

Every time I’ve ever had surgery my sister has brought me a tiny potted yellow rose( a nod to our mother) I have 5 thriving in my garden for years now
This video is a godsend!
I bought one at Walmart from clearance section. I separated and put them into ground. All the four rose plants took off. They all are blooming. I hope they survive this winter.
Great! I hope they thrive for you

Jason, I never gave it much thought. But I can see now that they are just young cuttings, so it makes sense that you would up pot and treat as cuttings. Makes me want to go buy and experiment with them.
Very helpful thanks
Thanks Jason for highlighting these! 😃I bought a few last year as I couldn't resist the colours they came in! I put them in my planters to enjoy throughout the summer and I wintered them over. They bloomed all summer long this season as well! Next step and challenge for me might be trying to take a few cuttings. I also put a few in the garden bed itself and one came back and bloomed! 😃😃😃
Thanks. In my experience most minis are fairly easy from cuttings - a good way to get experience!
Thanks! It’s been hard to find this info
Miniature roses have always been a downer for me. Thank you so much for explaining them. I atill don't want any, but if I ever get another, I'll do what you have taught us to do.
Thank you, Jason.
Mahvelous dahlink! Can t wait to do that next spring! Thanks Jason.
WOW, your videos are very useful, straight forward, and offer all of the information I need to educate myself concerning my plants. I love this site. Thank you for teaching all of us.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
Thank you for a short, straight to the point very informational video. I’ve received many of these over the years and they always died. Now I know why. I have one I’m repotting today and now I know what I’m doing. Excellent video!
Love this helpful video of yours. I do have mini roses which I planted in my garden. They are doing well. I like your idea of replanting the mini roses plants into another pot. Thanks for this idea. 👍💯
i recieved one as a gift and it grew and bloomed very nicely with hardly any brown leaves.....it was kept in my windowsill where there was tons of sunlight and warmth
I love these comments and the video! Thank you, all!
Great video again, Jason and Lisa. I have a couple of painted minis outside. Flowers low, flowers high. Thanks for teaching me how to propicate through your videos. I will keep watching. Jeremy and Gennifer from Abbotsford 😊
Thanks. Good to know the channel is reaching some local gardeners!
I got a mini rose plant from the grocery store in April and it's doing great. I dead head its almost twice as big as when I got it 🙂🙂
Thank you so much, I will take your excellent advice.
Thanks for this video!
I planted my rose straight into the garden and now it is growing well and is on its second bloom. Last year when I did the same, my rose did not survive the winter in UK so I'll see what happens this time.
You showed Crackling Fire and my heart skipped a beat! So glad you presented this information. You may have saved a bunch of very lovely Roses and some with fragrance from the trash. Do you think it would be better to put them in the ground before they get sad looking? Thank you for another cool video! Still need Crackling Fire though!❤
Yes - as soon as you can manage to get them into better conditions will help prevent the decline. Most of these greenhouse-bred minis aren't noted for their fragrance, but I have others (named varieties) in my collection that have quite a nice scent.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm
It’s so interesting because they would be own root roses then. That’s really neat! Thanks to you I will look at grocery store Roses differently as I load them in my cart lol! As always Jason, I really appreciate you❤️
I treat them as an annual, I even had one bloom the next Summer! One of my favorite "annuals".
Very good helpful
Yes they can! But you may have to sacrifice the other ones that are grown too close together. Mine is about waist height now once transplanted into the garden, all thanks to Jason’s advice 😊. The blooms are incredibly long lasting and durable but doesn’t have as much scent as I would have liked. They rarely ever remain miniature though.
Thanks for all the information you provide on your channel. It's been a big help over the past couple years since I discovered you. I received one of these few years ago from my partner and it was also supermarket store buy, only mine was a single plant. I was that person you described as sentimental and not wanting to let something die. I took it as a challenge and now I'm working on familiarizing myself with growing roses, but I had a few questions about these miniatures: First, like yours mine only said 'Rose' on the label and I never discovered the name. What is the miniature you are showing? Also, are there any differences in propagating these smaller guys from cuttings? Are they easy to breed? Again, thank you for what you do!
One of the challenges is that they suppliers don't often identify these roses - so no way to know a name really. I do prefer the named varieties with a proven track record in the garden, and that's what I grow and sell. They're super easy to propagate from cuttings, and suspect there would be no issue with breeding.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm
Thanks for the feedback! I just informally named mine 'Roselynn' haha. I'll give cuttings a try with them next. Cheers!
My rose is still going strong (on a windowsill), but I prune it and feed it often. Now I'm thinking of getting a fairy rose for the balcony (have no garden). Not sure how that would go. Winters are pretty harsh, so mybe with overwintering inside? I absolutely adore roses, but am currently not in a position to afford a garden 😣
I have one my husband got me about 5 years that I have in a large pot and get an abundance of blooms every year.
Nice tips
Thanks for information
I have 4 planted in my garden. Each represents 4 family members who have passed. They are growing beautifully. Tallest one is about 4'.
Thank you so much for your educational videos, I do so appreciate them. This past spring I bought some miniature tea roses from home Depot here in Alberta. I did as you showed in your video I repotted the roses into a larger pot, with intentions for placing them out on my patio. One of the repotted plants must have had spider mites as they had lost all of its leaves. I thought that I would just spray it down with safer soap and see how it progressed from there. At the time it was too cold to place the repotted roses outside as it got warmer I put it out on my front step where it had partial sun and shade. They started to recuperate slowly and that gave me great joy and pride. Now I have some beautiful rosebuds coming up and the branches are nice and full with foliage. On Thursday, I gave them their first dose of fertilizer probably too late in the season. My question is now that I have my roses on the right track how do I winter them inside the house?? Thank you so much keep up the great work.
As mentioned in this video, it can be tough keeping roses happy indoors. They're usually happier if they can go partially or fully dormant in the cooler weather, so first I'd let them have a touch of cold outdoors. Roses will take below freezing no problem, it's only once deeper cold sets in (like below -5C) that I'd consider bringing them in. Ideally to as cool a spot as possible. I obviously don't know your layout, but here I'd overwinter in the cooler downstairs rooms or garage by a window. It's cold enough to keep the rose from trying to grow, but stays above freezing. YMMV
Mine are planted outdoors and they come back every year!😊
I managed to hang on to mine this year - tucked out under a well established rose (gave it an adopted mommy) and it’s bloomed and grown well this summer. Now, how to overwinter…thinking leaf mulch and learn to toughen up. Lol
My little sister got me one of these for my birthday and it has turned out to be one of the most beautiful plants in my garden!
I don’t even like mini roses, lol! But these are really beautiful and that sucker is by far the healthiest rose that I own! It makes me so irritated because I have all these really nice David Austin roses, and I’ve spent so much money trying to buy all the good fertilizers for them, and I spent so much time taking care of them.. but this stupid little grocery store rose ended up being completely disease resistant, it’s always super healthy, and it produces like a workhorse!
Nicely done - what a great little rose!
I got sent one of these little roses through the mail by a friend. A few years and a lot of pruning later it's thriving in a pot on my patio and has tons of flowers that last for ages, but unfortunately have no fragrance
I'm in Upstate New York and mine survived winter just fine. They've about doubled in size and are just starting to bloom
Do you have a video for pruning miniature roses in winter?
Nothing yet. I'll note the topic. I wouldn't do much except a light trim and removal of any dead, damaged or diseased stems to reduce the chance of rot.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
so I got some mini roses for my patio container garden. I used fox farms ocean forest soil, they love it.
I was having a battle with bugs such as Japanese beetles, aphids, and thrips.
Deheaded. Removed all dead stuff.
Sooooooo I got bioadvanced. Missed the part where it says not recommended for potted plants.
THEY FRIED, border line went up in flames.
Tried to flush it out, which made them even more mad. I have 3 of these things trying to recover. 1 I trashed.
Moving forward can I use the bio advanced at half strength, if not, what do you recommend on potted mini roses.
Years ago just for fun I planted one of these roses outside and it grew into a huge shrub, actually very pretty. Then I moved 🤨
I've grown these mini (own-root) roses outdoors; there can be as many as 5 rooted cuttings in a pot which may be individually separated, planted in the garden and hilled for winter. Surprised I was to find that some came with a Kordes tag and a name to the variety. A pity they're thrown out because they're perfectly good roses. They do benefit from a cool, dormant period (like any other rose) otherwise; they may not flourish indoors and are susceptible to spider mites.
I put my miniature rose on my aquaponics grow bed that is in my low heat garage over a year and a half ago. Its had spider mites, aphids, leafhoppers…. Any time it gets badly infested I just stripped the leaves, trimmed the stems back and a month later it was recovered!
I got a shock though when it sent up some suckers… huge stems (over 1/4”diameter) that rose up to 4ft tall before they got too heavy for the pot/roots that went through the bottom of the pot and tipped it over! 😂
Thank you Jason for this very helpful video.
I would like to know whether this type of rose will survive in zone 5a?
Minis are often rated to zone 5 or 6, but the ones grown for greenhouse aren't really evaluated for garden hardiness, so there's no way to know without trying. It might be better to pick from roses proven for your winters.
My mini roses have been growing happily in the ground for 3 years, and I at more every year, I have 15 in ground ,zone 8B
I have a mini rose growing in the ground by our tiny library. I think it is at least three years old.
What temperature is good for mini rose plant in pot to transplant to ground.?
Should I divide it first before planting?
Thanks for the info. Looks like it will be easier than I thought to keep these. Do they need to be hardened off, or can you just put them straight outside when the weather warms? AND, if they are put outside into a pot, should they be brought back inside for the winter?
All of that depends on your climate. Here the weather is mild enough now that I wouldn't bother with hardening off, but if you're still getting near-freezing temps it might warrant a short adjustment period. Overwintering also depends on climate. Most minis are hardy to zone 5-6 in the garden (maybe 7 in a pot), so if your area is colder than that, you'll have to offer some level of protection over the winter.
Yeah, my miniature rose bush grave yard is massive. I always thought it was my poor ability, which I guess maybe it was since I didn't know the right things to do for them. I actually have 3 right now that are hanging by a thread, but at least trying to give a bit of new growth.
For people who are ready to give up, just keep trying. You really have to get them into the right conditions. They may even need a serious cut down if they show signs of disease. Just don't use dirty pruning shears, clean them first.
Great video, thank you. Just wondering, how often would you liquid feed with fish fertiliser?
If dilute enough, every 2nd watering.
hi can make videos how to water nursery potted rose plant thanks
All the ones which I bought myself a while ago at the local grocery store are still blooming like crazy, in slightly larger pots. I'm planning to get them into the ground at a new property as soon as some trees get cut down & I can do more weeding & collecting of years of neglected dead branches etc. Since the tall blackberries are fantastic in what is otherwise a mess, I assume that the soil is great below the deep debris. I plan to put a soft delicate ground cover over the area where the roses will be put, already have 180 potted plants moved to the large shed on the lot since we now get colder rain & winds here in my area. Most of August was like Fall! Should I separate the roses at planting next week or leave them clumped in groups as they are now? Are they as touchy as larger roses as to how deep to set them into the soil?
Some people divide, and that's fine but personally I don't see an issue with leaving them in a clump. Plant the crowns at soil level. Sounds like you have some work cut out for you!
will you make a update video on this rose?
Got lucky and got a load of these little babies from a big box store $5.00/ea on the day they came in no stress showing at all. They went directly into containers or the ground and have been blooming all summer. I find them hardy in the ground in my zone 6. Do you think they would survive the winter outside in a container in my zone? Thanks!
Borderline, I'd say. If you can manage to shelter the pots away from excess moisture and cold wind (against the side of the house or similar) that may help. Also, if you see a forecast for a short stretch of extreme cold, you can put them inside (garage would be perfect) for just that weather system, and move them right back out afterwards.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks!
I live in southern Alberta and I was wondering if I should leave them outside, in the pot, over winter or will they be fine in the extreme winter conditions . (I revived them when they were near death!)
These mini roses are not hardy for Alberta winters.
I repotted two that were going to be thrown out and they're ready to transplant into a bigger pot outside, hopefully to flower this year 🤞
Nice video. What can I do to prevent spider mites aphids and leaf hoppers? I just bought two and I’m really into preventing or pro active approach vs reactive after the fact. I just heard about neem cake for pest control but haven’t tried it yet. What do you think? Any suggestions for pest control? Ty for your very informational videos
Thanks. Neem is not a complete control by any means. Here I'll link a couple of videos I've made on aphids, spider mites and pest control: ua-cam.com/video/mI5zowOac6I/v-deo.html , ua-cam.com/video/_ntAnbHy8qQ/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/eNWDdSOILjM/v-deo.html
I just got some of these today because I love them and I've tried to keep them indoors. They always die. You said these aren't well rooted so would rooting hormone mixed in water with some legit nutritious potting soiladded to what's already in the little pot work better?
Repotting with a good potting soil is a fine idea - but rooting hormone is unlikely to help.
Advise for mini roses (tag said kordana I think) in a norther great lakes region? 4a/4b region. Idk if they can stay outside 😅
I got them in June for national rose month when my kids suckered me into them, they've been pretty healthy so far, but I want to keep them. They're in a pot now. I was unsure if I should bring them inside or how to overwinter them.
They're unlikely to survive in a pot outside in zone 4. A sheltered position in the ground is still pretty iffy (many minis are hardy to zone 5 or 6), so your best bet is to keep them in a larger pot and bring them in during deep cold (anything well below freezing). It can be tough to maintain good condition in the warmth of the house, but I've had decent luck bringing them into a cooler room like a garage or basement. If you do that once they're fully dormant, they won't need a lot of light. For best results, I only keep them inside during the worst of the cold and then put them straight back outside - even in cooler weather bordering on freezing. It's just the much deeper cold that can damage their tissues.
Is hardening off different in the Fall?
Not really. It's all about getting the plant acclimated to outdoor conditions
I buy them especially to collect different colours. I repot them and they stay in the garden all year round after they’ve stopped blooming.
Very nice!
I got mini roses and I got them home with in a few days they started getting grayish spots on them and look like they are dieing what do I do
I brought the one j got given inside over winter and it’s with my seedlings under grow lights so does it need to be hardened off?
If you're still getting cold and it's accustomed to warm, it's not a bad idea to transition over a week or so
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you Jason! going to grab it right now. I appreciate your videos and that as I’m on the island, your comparable climate. Thanks again!
Once they’re repotted, and outside, how often do they need water?
It's not something you can really figure except by observation and experience with your own growing conditions.
I've just been given a potted rose called marbled rose .it has moss coving the soil shall I leave it there
Anything special for winter being in a pot?
It depends on your winter. Most minis are hardy to zone 5 or 6 on average, and in a reasonably sized pot you should allow for at least a 1 zone buffer - which means they'll probably get through a zone 7 winter with little protection.
Once I move the roses from the small store pot to a larger pot and put outside, how long should it stay in the larger pot before I plant it in the ground? Thank you
Once they've rooted to the sides and bottom of the pot it's safe to plant.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you!
So I got one a few days ago … beautiful now ? Not AS much but she still cute
but now that you pointed out it’s like 4 pieces okay …I did repot it cause it looked to big for itself and as for outside I have it in my balcony in my lower Texas
It’s in shock? Me too buddy that’s why I got you ..okay…so I actually cut several of its flower heads right now before you said “only after they bloom” and I paused but Iva also hear people say it helps focus nutrients …it also had a lot and it look like the neck of some of the flowers were dying anyways …it had like 17 or more roses head …decapitated like 6 but felt like more also getting rid of yellow leaves (using nail clippers) uuh I watered it with some miracle grow as I watered the rest of my plants …but I don’t know how long it’ll take to adjust so here hoping it makes it
I did the same with a pot of yellow miniature rose. After I transplanted it outside and it made new leaves and buds, the new flowers are now orange instead of yellow. Is it because of my garden soil, have I put too much fertilizer?
My thought is just that the different conditions while blooming brought on a deeper color
Sink them in the ground up to zone 5 - fertilize with a 15 40 15 or , 20 20 20 often , they do AMAZING things I manage to get then to produce big blooms BIG - they are very cost effective
