Why Grow Miniature Roses? 

I never had luck with miniature roses until this past summer. I accidentally ordered miniature roses and decided to grow them in patio planters. I think I figured out that my issue was over watering in the past. These miniature roses are very cute in planters and I love them.

Most mini roses we can buy here in Canada from grocery stores (FreshCo, No Frills..), Walmart and Homedopot are Kordana series bred by Kordes, licensed to Westbrooks to grow locally. They are sold as pot roses by Kordes in Germany but once you plant them in the ground, OMG, my 4 mini roses are just growing out of control, delivering me 70-80 flowers per plant per wave of bloom. If you have a Kordana Grande, the flowers can be 7-8 cm just as big as you can get from any shrub roses. Kordana Classic ones are a little smaller in terms of the flower size. The most impressive thing from the Kordana mini roses is the life of each bloom. The official claim from Kordes is 21-24 days of shelf life and it is certainly true. They last super long. One thing people probably are not aware is that the small pot you get from the grocery store actually contains 4-5 plants in it. You can definitely separate them and replant them into multiple pots or locations in the ground. I am a big fan of these mini roses and will keep collecting more colors.

I used to grow 'warm welcome' over a 2m high arch, it was very happy there. It was sold as a 'miniature climber' when I bought it (UK).

Bought a miniature rose from the grocery store which my husband found out was named Gigi. It has a wonderful red and white swirl pattern on each bloom. My peach drift roses still have blooms this time of yr in NC. Although it's not steady blooms the drift roses have produced blooms sporadically all throughout its first yr.

Loved this video. I get miniature roses at the grocery store and plant them outside. They make great border plants.

Another great one Jason. Love all your videos

I also would like to know the story of “sweet revenge” if any. Such a pretty flower, and a rose! What a tender enemy could it be that took revenge so “poéticly”. Can’t imagine a rose other than awaking our admiration and pleasure. As always, thank you.

Can t wait to try them out ! : ) Thank you my boo. :) Stay Well.

So much help as always, so glad I had found your channel in my search for Rose knowledge 👍🏻

I LOVE minis! Your collection is stunning, thanks for showing us!

I have rainbow's end. Really impressed that it blooms non stop. So healthy. The nice thing it is in small pot due to the size. Really versatile..😊

I love miniature roses especially if you have a relatively small garden and want to maximise space. I've got pink 'star performer' trailing miniature roses and I absolutely love them.

I never felt the least bit interested in miniature roses. The ones I've seen here are really tiny with minuscule flowers--I can get the same effect or better with double portulaca like the "Color Blast" varieties. Never tempted me, that is, until I watched this video. Wow. They are gorgeous!

Thank you for the video. I just bought Kristen and i think maybe Rockstar from the supermarket. Its inspiring to see how large they can grow.

I’m pretty excited about the upcoming release of Pink Sunblaze. The colors and bloom shape look really interesting!

Thank you for this wonderful information.

I was actually looking for a lady banks yellow climbing rose and came across a sunblaze golden on clearance. This is supposed to be miniature but here we are in October, Zone 7b and it is huge, full of flowers and new buds! Love it!

They are really very pretty 😍

It was terrific

Great video, thanks!! Unfortunately, grocery stores don't name the roses. Oh well, they are still stunning.

I have this great rose called Margo Koster. It’s technically a polyantha, but I found it when searching for miniatures as it only gets around 2’. It has had lots of clusters of the tiniest, salmon pink colored flowers since it got planted in early spring. Each flower is about the size of my fingertip. It has also proven to be very disease resistant here in humid central TX, zone 8b.

Gorgeous selection!

Minatures are my all time favorite!

Thank you so much. I just discovered that miniture rose are very healthy and non-stop blommers. I wish to know more about them.

Great video thank you!

I have the crystal lavender ones and ine thst are red and white marbled colored. i just bought them and cant wait to plant it outside this spring.

I love miniature roses perfect for wearing, and tiny arrangements, very nice in the garden also

Some of my favorites include Joy, Autumn Splendor, Butter Cream, Whirlwind, and Conundrum.

Nice video sharing

My mini roses are definitely my favorite in my garden, including my regular roses. Strong re-bloomers indeed.

Beautiful roses I wish I live in your continent thank you from Switzerland

I received an indoor/outdoor mini rose plant for Valentine’s Day. I kept it outside in its small pot this summer and was wondering if I should bring it in for the winter or plant it in the landscape? Do the do well indoors??NJ zone 7

I have a mini rose called Sweet Chariot. A lovely mauve double pink and grows to 3 feet. It looms a lot!

Gorgeous! Mine didn't overwinter :( Will try again

I got pompon veranda rose , colors like eden rose 😍 will see how tall she gonna be ❤ and l want cutie pie , never seen rose like this yet 😊

I put in 3 knockout petite red roses this year and and loving the small amount of space they take. Thanks for sharing the great colors. Do you ship to the USA yet?

Do you have a video on the care and pruning of miniature roses in containers please? I planted some that grow to 60cm and 80 cm but don't know how to trim them during the flowering season and how they need to be pruned. Love your videos they are always so helpful. I am in Johannesburg South Africa - hot rainy summers cold dry winters and wonderful warm to hot spring and fall seasons

I just bought two at Trader Joe’s on Thursday with the purpose of nurturing them. I was able to identify one as Gigi, its red and white striped. The other is a beautiful deep yet bright purple with a nice fragrance. I can’t seem to find that one anywhere online.

Stunning collection there, Jason! How do you advise to prune miniature roses shrubs for best appearance?

Great video Jason. I have several miniature roses. And your right about their growing habits and size. I do have a question, as many of my minis are self cleaning and don't produce hips. I saw in your video that you currently grow Kristen. Does she produce hips. As I am trying to find a miniature rose that would make a good mother plant.

Jason, these are just beautiful. I have "knockout" roses (I don't know the names) three are snow white and three are pinky/red. I feed them rose food and "dead head" them, and they just continuously bloom from May until it gets cold. I live in ri I am unable to find out what zone I am in. Hopefully, not the Twilight Zone! :)

Hermosas

I have Warm welcome and Red dragon a 6ft climber. Red Dragon blooms more then Warm Welcome in my garden. I also have Work of Art another climber, apricot blend.

Love Miniature roses, have just two unnamed (just numbered) because one of our local rose growers has developed some of his own and he asked some local gardeners from clubs 2 try them so he cld see how well in diff locations within a hundred kilometer zones and soli conditions they wld do. (They both r pinks, one darker, very prolific bloomers. Blooming still with rose hips forming well) i decided 2 only trim them back a little. One i planted in ground and doing much better than the potted up one. I loved that Lavender colored one and My question is are U going 2 start selling farther than Ontario next spring now that yr going 2 b making yr rose business yr full time job? Wishing u success!

Very beautiful colours! How about fragrance? Has much of the fragrance been lost through breeding like the larger versions?

Love the larger bush size miniature rose, like lady bank's flowers are quite miniature if you think about it, they are in bloom here in South Africa right now, I have one mini in pot but is so prone to blackspot that I sometimes feel like getting rid of it. Thanks for another interesting video.

Jason! This video was very cool and informal I have about 8 or 9 different miniature roses none of which have named verietys 3 of them are patented Kordana mini roses but still I have no verietys is there any tips you could give for figuring out rose verietys?

I want to know about diseases and care of rose, please. Also, what fertilizer you would recommend for Virginia's slightly acidic soil throughout the year.

Hi Jason I love roses but indoors is so difficult because if spider mite which killed other beautiful big raise trees after having for four years the problem is we can't get the good rose sprays anymore here where I am and thank you for sharing your advice with me before to keep them going and thank you so much for sharing the beautiful video on miniature roses @ Fraser Valley Rose Farm👍👍😀😀❤️❤️🌹🌹

I managed to duplicate a miniature that was growing in a neighbor's front year (with permission) but didn't know the name. I later was able to purchase La Marne (introduced 1915) and it turns out to be a twin to what I had found, only with more petals per bloom. I have since been told there can be variation in petal count from plant to plant. Also like Verdun (1917). Thanks for your videos, they are very interesting and sadly, don't get you any extra business from your US fans....

Thanks for information. What about wintering? Many of them are held in conteiners. How they can overwinter? Indoor or something else? thank you.

Thanks for the video. If you plant in containers, do you have to place the container in a shed during the winter? I am up on the hill just off of Old Yale Road - don't think I am a Zone 8 here. Very shady yard, but am looking for a small climber for a fairly sunny corner.

Hi I would like to know if these are edible or can I dehydrate the petals or roses and use them as garnish on dishes or teas?

Does anyone have any idea what variety of mini roses are typically sold in grocery stores/by florists around Valentine’s or Mother’s Day? (US) I have several but would love to know their names.

This Is very delicate to handle pls help to plant in ground

Sweet Revenge should be a tribute to the Eurythmics, Albums Sweet Dreams and Revenge. Love the channel. Learning a lot. Plus it’s lovely looking at 🌹. Are these difficult to take cutting from. I have a couple and the shoots are so short they don’t seem to match that criteria video you did.

Years ago I purchased some roses from Jackson and Perkins to plant on a sunny slope. After the first year of conscious watering left them and paid very little attention to them. Of course with neglect they did very little. My thought was to pull them and replant the area. This year with all the rain we received in the Northeast US they just bloomed and bloomed. I have no idea what variety they are but watching your video I believe they are miniature shrub roses as they only grow about 2 1/2'. Can I take cuttings and propagate them as with other roses?

I wonder where I can buy these beautiful roses. I live in Texas.

Hi Jason , my favourite miniature rose is rainbow sunblaze. Do u grow that too?

Are these mini roses clustered together or separated? Thanks!

Hi Jason, thank you for the video! I would like to ask if you have a pdf file about all the names of roses? I get clueless when people say this and that how the heck do they know all these names?

I have a miniature Kordana Red Rose then a white drift rose

Can we place this miniature rose plant in north facing garden bed?

Where can i buy mini rose? I saw a lot of knockout petite rose. Are they the same?

I'm just wondering if you know anything about the "miniature Kordana Series Rose". Their website information doesn't tell much. The label on the pot only said "4inch miniature rose KORDANA SERIES" that would be great thank you very much 🙏🌹🌹

Where is the best place to buy minis in the US?

And how about cold weather season ?

What about mini-flora and mini-spray? What exactly are they? Thank you.

👍🏽

Can those roses be grown in Egypt in regards to its weather

I've got some that thrive here in Florida, and others that I can't keep alive in this heat.

Would it pair well with lavender in a border?

So, are the blooms small? I understand about the plant heights but are the flowers, themselves, small?

These mini roses from the supermarket always die after I plant them; what am I doing wrong? Are they planted to close together?

How about the fragrance ? My miniatures seem to be not fragrant. i remember reading something about that miniature roses are usually non fragrant, is it true ?

can they grow indoor?

Can these vine up ??

I tried to buy Bee's Knees' from you, but it said local sales only. Is there no way for you to ship one to me? Michael, Santa Fe nm

can i grow it inside

Sure wish I could even FIND Miniature Roses now. I've had them from the supermarket & I stupidly treated them as annuals. I should've protected them because all Spring, Summer & Fall, they performed beautifully. But I've searched locally & can't find them now. Any suggestions where to purchase Miniature Roses?

Where did you buy them ?

I’d like to report that my green colored miniature rose is growing really well after repotting them in a larger container. The blooms are much larger than before although still scentless. The staying power of the bloom is much longer than any other types of garden rose that I have encountered. Edited: grammar 😅

My miniature roses all died .. even though my other normal ones don’t

The only thing that makes me sad about miniature roses are that they don't smell! I haven't found a single one with any fragrance!

Sir do you ship..? Also website.
