Mini Rose.
Miniature rose/ Mini rose will thrive when given the same care as full size rose. They are unexpensive, even I could get them in dollar store. I used to repot them to bigger pot minimum 6" . I was in Arizona when I started growing Minirose. They bloomed constantly from spring to fall. Some flowers are fragrant.
Mini rose plant can be grown indoors for a limited time. They need very bright light spot to grow and reblooming. I do not recommend to grow them indoor. They are happy and thrive well outdoor in pot or container.
Basic things to know to grow Mini Rose in container.
Light : Make sure that they receive at least 5-6 hours direct sun , but when temperature is above 100F, reduce expore direct sun. Morning sun is the best. Some cultivars will do well in partial shade.
The key to care Rose in shade is choose disease resistant cultivar and one which flower with limited sun.
Soil : Any good potting soil , I usually use moisture Miracle grow potting soil . If you want, add some perlite. PH : 6.5-7.0 is ideal . Do not layer or drainage material of the bottom container. Plant Mini rose into minimun 6" container.
Water : Water every two days in summer , reduce volume of water in winter .
Fertlizer: Feed when they are start growing, do not feed them when they are thirsthy, water very well before feeding. Fertlize them once month.
Dead head the spent blooms to encourage continual blooming.
Prune : Pruning your rose in late winter.
Pest Control :
Fungus, black spot, powdery mildew, aphid are the common pest for roses.
Preventing tips:
Never water your rose from overhead, water directly to the container soil, or use self watering container.
Remove all disease leaves from the container and ground when they drop. Quick respond when you see disease coming.
Locate your rose in area with good circulation.
