Miniature Roses as House Plants
Roses are always a welcomed gift for Mothers Day. Most stores will carry potted mini roses that will bloom for a long time with proper care. Pick up a wicker basket a bit larger than the potted plant, put a plastic liner in the bottom and don’t forget a beautiful grosgrain ribbon bow. I like that it is a perfect color match to the rose color.
Although mini roses do quite well in containers and you often see them sold as houseplants, many gardeners are disappointed by their performance indoors. As roses, they need full sun and good humidity. These are easy enough to provide in summer, but humidity drops considerably when the heat comes on indoors and roses will quickly become desiccated. Mini roses given as gifts will do best if transplanted outdoors.
