Question
Hi. I just received a miniature rose as a gift and I can't seem to find indepth care for it online. It's sticker says Kordana Rose, patiented plant PBRAF. It's light pink and unscented.  I'd like to know what diseases it's likely to get and what it's resistant to...also, what type of fertilizer, full or partial sun, etc. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Answer
Kordanas mini roses are bred by Kordes in Germany and are very healthy and hardy. Give it about 6 hours of full sun, more if you want to, but that is all a rose really needs. Scatter any type of rose fertilizer all around the base and water well for at least a month to give it a good start. Because this mini was grown in a greenhouse, you may find that the colour of the flowers change to a different shade when it is grown outside in the sunshine. It should grow to about 18 inches high. Kordanas are no problem mini roses.
