 Miniature Roses
Last updated March 2010
Miniature roses may be small in stature, but they are big in
popularity. Typically, the tiny flowers resemble many-petaled hybrid tea
or floribunda roses; however, old-fashioned styles of flowers are also
represented, with single, and semi-double buds that open to full, old
rose blooms. Miniature refers to the flower size and not the size of the
plant. |
