Got Taken With Mini Rose

[Nyboy]

last week we had a thread on mini roses. I never had luck with them inside. I like flowers on my desk, mini roses much cheaper then orchids. Because of the thread when I saw them at my supermarket tonight I went over to see them. A lavender colored rose caught my eye, at $6.99 I said why not. Came home unwrapped, found bottom half all yellow, wrapping hide it in store. Pissed off now

That's not a big deal really. It probably got dry at some point and the wrapping also kept the light from getting to the leaves. Just do a little plant grooming and it will grow new leaves quickly. Those minis really are tough.

Just don't do like me and forget it on the windowsill until it's a cornflake.

Take that stupid foil, the killer of plants, off and throw it away. It looks too wet and the drainage was impaired. Clean it up let it dry out A LITTLE. give it a lite bit of fertilizer.

Foil gone you are right soil very wet. I do love the color. Never had luck with them this one going outside in ground.

Don't worry too much about it. My motto is "there's more where that one came from". lol

Are you sure that it is a Mini-Rose? It looks a lot like a full sized lavender rose I have.
