I love roses, but I live in an apartment and so can’t have a garden. There is a nursery in the area that specializes in miniature rose plants. While they strongly urge you to plant them outdoors (since that’s what they were bred for) I can’t help but wonder if I could make them grow reasonably well on an indoor, very sunny windowsill. I think I might just try it.

Good luck with your plants!

Got a porch/deck? Miniature Roses will do just fine there. They’d probably do alright on a windowsill for a season, but they need the winter cold to continue to bloom. Take a look at John’s Miniature Roses for more info and tons of miniature roses.

I’m *really* not a rose lover… They’re too picky, to susceptible to various fungus, too much of a pain in the ass.. But..

I do like to old Garden Roses. Those created before modern breeders started to get their hands on things. Nearly all of the roses we picked up this past week were created prior to the 1920’s and at least one was bred before the 1700’s. These guys are hardy, hardy, hardy.

Lucky lucky you! I’ve got a tiny Heirloom
Rose that was given to me by a friend in the
midst of our move. That tiny rose took a lot
of abuse, but this Spring is leafing out all
over the place. I’d love to visit their
nursery in person one of these days.
