Patio roses
 

From time to time we get given little pots with miniature roses in -
normally about 4 to a pot.
They tend to be left outside in the original pot and some survive and others
don't.
Has anyone had success in transplanting these roses to larger pots for a
long term display, or planting them out in borders?

I don't recall seeing miniature roses in flower borders but if they survive
outside in the original pot they should grow in borders, I assume?

Cheers

I have one in my garden that has survived for four years now, so it is
possible.

I planted two out about 15 years ago. One is still going strong and is
about a foot and a half high and a foot across. I only ever prune any
dead step tips off and deadhead it, otherwise leave it alone.

The second died fairly quickly.

Yes. Planted three from someone's pot last year and they have survived
and seem to be flourishing.
