Miniature roses are true roses that have been selectively bred to stay small in size. Most miniatures also have smaller flowers than standard rose bushes, but they come in the same variety of types and colors. Despite their small size, miniature roses are extremely hardy. In fact, they are more winter hardy than most tea roses, and they also tend to be profuse repeat bloomers.The genetic parentage of miniature roses can be difficult to define since they have been in cultivation since the 17th century, but most originated as genetic mutations of Old Garden Roses (Rosa gallica and Rosa centifolia), or China roses (Rosa chinensis). Most types now grown are the result of extensive breeding and are long divorced from the original native species.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Miniature roses require frequent watering, but they can be susceptible to root rot and fungal infections, so you have to be mindful to avoid allowing them to sit directly in water. Allow a soil to dry out between watering to ensure you avoid these problems. Test a soil with your finger prior to watering.
Pruning
Dead fronds and leaves can be removed.
Fertilizer
An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during the growth period is recommended.
Sunlight
In most cases, plants receiving no outdoor light should be lit from 16 to 18 hours each day. If some additional light is received, 12 to 14 hours each day may be adequate. Lights should be used at the same time that plants receive window light.
Soil
Loose, light, humus soil is ideal for this plant.
Temperature
Although mini roses do quite well in containers and you often see them sold as houseplants, many gardeners are disappointed by their performance indoors.
Container
Choose a pot that is 2.5-5.08 cm (1-2”) larger than the current size.
