Why Miniature Indoor Roses Often Fail After Flowering

The Reality of Gift Roses

Miniature roses sold as indoor plants are usually hybrids bred for a single flush of bloom. They require a cold winter dormancy period to rebloom, which typical indoor conditions cannot provide.

What to Expect

• The plant will likely not bloom again indoors.
• Most people discard them after flowering.
• If you have a cold garage or can plant it outdoors in a suitable climate, it may survive long-term.

Don't blame yourself—this is a plant that's very difficult to maintain as a permanent indoor specimen.
