Rose people, I need your help!

Wife found some, so told her to buy me one. If there are several plants, would I be better served to separate so each can build a better root system? We had a red mini that I had to move, never made it though the winter.

I wouldn't bother to separate a mini. But you could if it made you happy having more than one clump.

I just went out and looked for mine that I mentioned in this old thread, and yep, it's still out there looking good.

If you plant pretty much ANYTHING in the Fall it may not have enough time to grow a root structure deep enough to survive the winter. Normally mini roses are the hardiest. You should always plant far enough apart for the roots to have room. Hope this helps.

More clumps are always better. Now to find spots for more clumps IF there are more than one in pot.

Ha, I always look for plants that have clumps. I feel like I'm getting more plants for my money! haha

4 plants per pot. I divided 2 of them into 3 starts, 1 pot into 2 starts. I know they will scatter out.
