Lovely little roses

Hi there,

Visited a friends garden yesterday and she has some lovely tiny roses, she has no idea as to what they are and i would really like some.

They had small double heads and were in pink and also in white and looked like they were also doing a pretty good job as ground cover.

Any idea's oh wise ones?

 

If you look at the rose growers' sites, most of them have sections such as miniature roses, with pictures and descriptions:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=miniature+roses&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB
Or you can use

which has a multiple search facility. There are some beautiful ones around and some of them even smell now!

 

Hello, Liz (and ag ). You know, I never did find out what my tiny orange rose was and I wrote three companies asking if they could identify it. Shame, but never mind, I've still got it with it's up to 60 blooms per stem ... having a rest at the moment.

 

Hi Liz and LOL,

Thanks for the link, will search it today.

Put up the garden swing seat last night so i can swing in the garden 'til my hearts content while perusing the link to find those roses :D

Many thanks and happy gardening :D

 

Update :D

Found the most gorgeous roses today at the garden centre, they are groundcover roses (poulweeto sweet rose), i got them in pink and also in red and they smell divine :D

I am off to dig them in as we speak

 

Further update :(

Because of the hot weather one of the dogs decided that it wanted to dig out a shady hole - where my roses were

Gave them mouth to mouth and replanted, praying for them to pull thru

 

Oh dear! My dogs dig when they're hot, too. Hope the roses are OK.

 

Fank u Liz,

The petals are off the pink one but the red still intact.

Oxygen and rose food administered, they are in the ICU, we can only wait and pray

 

To add a little ray of sunshine :D a patio rose that i had all but given up on has now started to bud with Yellow, my favourite colour.

It didn't do anything last year but it has popped up like a little ray of sunshine
