miniature rose (& thanks re mini-tiller feedback)
Thanks to all for the feedback on the mini tiller - I tried to post a thank
you right afterwards, but Outlook Express crashed twice and the third time my post never showed on the newsgroup, so I gave up. I received a miniature rose plant as a gift last spring, transplanted it to a bigger container, and have kept it outside on the patio ever since. Thanks to regular watering and fertilizer, it has grown to about 2x2ft and is blooming well. However - I'd prefer to move it into the yard. Does anyone know whether these plants can successfully be transplanted outside in Central Texas? Teri Cedar Park, TX |

I should have added that this is one of those unknown 'grocery store'
varieties- not something purchased from a garden center and meant for the outdoors. That's why I was wondering if anyone in Central Texas had tried planting theirs outside and what their experience was. Teri Cedar Park, TX "TLR" wrote in message om...

Does anyone know whether these plants can successfully be transplanted outside in Central Texas? Teri Cedar Park, TX Sure. Roses are roses. They're hardy much farther north. I don't know for sure if all varieties bred for pot culture are good outside (like some hybrid teas are so tender they're hardly worth growing except the flowers are so beautiful, if you can get any past the bugs and diseases,) but I've grown minis in Montana in sheltered areas. I'm sure whoever moved into my house when I left killed them, but it can be done. Cindy |

Teri Cedar Park, TX So I didn't really answer your question, huh.... ;) Well, if you baby it like you did in the pot and protect it in the winter, it *probably* will be okay, but maybe somebody who's tried it will answer. Good luck. :) Cindy |

Absolutely, however many miniature roses aren't as resistant to black spot as I'd like. I refuse to spray fungicide anymore. . . Temperature wise, they'll do just fine. deg |
