Question
I live in Western New York. Niagara Falls to be exact. I recieved to small roses for valentine's day. I would like to know when i can plant them in the ground without worring about hurting them. They are in a sunny window and have plenty of new growth on them since I recieved them. I don't know what kind they are but I believe they are a miniature rose of some kind. Thank you for any help you can give me.  Cheryl

Answer
Your little roses will do better outside as thy don't like the high humidity of a house. Even though they are small, you grow them the same way as a large rose. Did a hole where they will get at least 8 hours of full sun. Scatter 2 tablespoons of any rose fertilizer around the base then place a mulch around the plant as they have tiny thin roots which dry out very quickly, and water well. Another way you can grow them outside is in a container and then you can bring them into the house in the winter in an unheated area.
Next spring prune them back by a half and they will do well for you. Hope this helps. Lynnette
