Miniature roses?

Question

At my local nursery i was given a pretty miniature (tea) rose as a gift from the store. It's in lovely condition but the problem is...i have a terrible track record with these particular plants. I need good advice on how to care for this plant and how to keep it alive for longer than a couple of weeks. Also..i would like to know if it's possible to plants it outside and if so ..what kind of conditions would it need to thrive out doors.
So i need advice on it's care for living indoors over this winter, and what it needs to live in the garden if it's possible to plant it out of doors this spring.

Answer 1

Most plants die from too much care rather than from benign neglect. Water this rose sparingly. Water till water comes out the bottom of the pot, let it stand for a few minutes, then pour off the excess. Do not water again till the soil feels dry to your second knuckle. Better that the plant should even wilt a little than to overwater. Feed it once a month with an all-purpose fertilizer. Don't overfeed - we're going into winter when days are short and light levels low, so the plant will not be actively growing till spring. Give it all the sun you can; roses want full sun.

Yes, if it lives through the winter you can plant it outside in spring. Mini roses are hardy to Zone 5 but not 4. Good luck with y our rose!

Answer 2

Most importantly, plant it outside where it should thrive. Get it out of that pot as soon as possible, it typically will drown in small pots from too much moisture and water retentive soil. I have some I have had for nearly 20 years, do fine in my climate without mulching in the winter--usually gets down to 10 degrees or so, but usually the aver winter temp is around 25 most days.

no, you may no longer assume blooms all 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.... those plant life have been raised particularly circumstances to place across them to bloom now..... in case you may no longer grant them an analogous circumstances, they are going to provide up blooming and in case you're fortunate and that they stay, then you definately could plant them outdoors and watch them do plenty greater effective.... for now, they elect warmth temperature, large gentle in all probability suited from a improve gentle, because of the reality the photograph voltaic isn't particularly solid enuff incredible now for roses..... a mild fertilizer, and a precise-draining pot..... transplanting now will reason you to lose bloom .... and the attempt placed into getting new roots well-known will provide up the bloom production, different than circumstances are appropriate..... make effective there is not any blockage on the drain holes indoors the pots, do now no longer overwater, yet do now no longer enable them to dry out to the element of wilting, the two..... I quite have a pink mini that lives outdoors precise right here in Zone 7-8 that has been with me for truthfully approximately 25 years, has been moved to 2 different properties, and whether components incredible miniature roses.... the plant life do now no longer stay miniature.... mine get very almost 4 feet tall.... additionally.... somewhat approximately now no longer transplanting now.... seem heavily on the plant... is it truthfully one, or is there probably 3 in that pot?..... if there is greater helpful than one, then your plant isn't very previous, it is actual previous being a reducing and has been chemically forced to bloom at this element..... transplanting now could stress them way too plenty..... truthfully talk approximately holding the plant alive till you may plant it outdoors in spring....

I agree tea roses tend to be very hardy and do not need a whole lot of attention. In fact I think they do much better out of doors unless you live in a very fridgid climate. My mom had grown tea roses for many years in a container next to her house and they always come back each year without moving them indoors.
