thier house--over a few winter months--until they could plant them
outside.
i bought a couple of miniature rose bushes to put outside come the
nicer weather in may. i was wondering if anyone could give me any
information on the what to do with these little beauties not only while
i have them inside but after i plant them as well i have never grown
roses before.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks you. sockiescat.

It helps to know where you are. "Winter"
where I am was over ... um, around 1965.
Where my sister lives "summer" occurs briefly
during August. Location makes a difference.

Roses really shouldn't be indoors.
Can you put them outside in a protected
area, like near the house? Minis, especially,
are cold tolerant. As long as the soil in
the pots doesn't get dry, they should be
ok until you can plant them.

Meanwhile check out the articles at
the American Rose Society:
www.ars.org

There are several articles on miniature roses.
