The proper time to plant and to grow miniature roses is just about any time you may be thinking of them. These lovely little gems are fast winning their rightful place in the gardens of America and the world. Enjoy these adaptable beauties in small gardens, big gardens; at the seashore, in the mountains or the desert; in pots, tubs, planters, borders and hedges.
When we speak of types of miniature roses we usually mean the three general forms; bush, climber and tree. Until rather recently the bush form was the only one available. As far as anyone knows miniatures were first found growing as dwarf or miniature bushes. Since these were easily grown in pots, had a long season of bloom and the plants were easily transported, it is not surprising that this is the type which was extensively cultivated. Small compact bushes were also more easily protected from harsh winter weather.
