How should I care for my miniature roses?
June 19, 2009 by admin
Filed under caring for roses
I got a some potted miniature roses the other day on a whim, and they already seem to be struggling. When I got home, I repotted them into a pot slightly larger than the one they'd been in and have watered them as the soil felt dry. They are indoors, but near a window that gets plenty of light throughout the afternoon/evening.
Today I cut off everything that seemed dead hoping that would help, but I didn't know if there was something more I should be doing. This is my first attempt in a long time at a plant of any kind because I've tended to have a black thumb in the past.
Any suggestions for how to help my plant?
ps- I bought it at the grocery store, not some fancy gardening place. Is that maybe why it started dying off so quickly?
Grocery stores don't tend to care for their plants very well. Repotting and deadheading were good things to do, I think they just need some recovery time. Care for them as you would any other rose. Even though they're miniature they do better outside, I've never had one inside that lasted very long. I planted some outside thirty years ago and they are still going strong. Good luck.

My mother loves tomatos so, I was thinking about getting her a tomato plant. What are the proper caring for a tomato plant?
Or, should I get her mini rose plant. Please include how to take care of mini roses if you pick this it instead of tomato plant.
Which is easier to take care of?
For the plants, would I have to plant them outside and please be specific on how I plant them and ect.
Thank youu 
Definitely a rose bush. Roses are not that hard to care for and they will provide beauty for years if properly taken care of. Even though your mother loves tomatoes, A tomato is an annual plant that dies when it freezes. A rose bush will remind your mother of your love for years to come when she sees it bloom.
A rose bush needs a well drained soil. Do not plant in a spot that is always soggy because the rose will die. They need watered regularly in the summer if you live in a dry climate. Plant them in an area that gets at least six hours of full sun per day. Roses need fertilized at least two times per year, maybe more depending on the kind of fertilizer you use. Prune off dead flowers as they die. This promotes new growth. Prune them back to the first set of 3 leaves on the stem. You may need to spray roses for bugs and fungi once in a while also. You can get all these products (fertilizer, insecticide, and fungicide) from a company called Gardens Alive. Their products are good. Every spring, before roses begin to come out of dormancy, they need pruned back to about 6 to 8 inches from the ground….Happy gardening!
