Miniature Roses

Intensive Care for Minis

19 years ago

I need advice. My Denver's Dream, a band from last year which is brown and looks utterly toasted crispy by winterkill, appears to have a tiny basal shoot coming up from the roots.

Is there anything I can do to assist it, other than keep it watered? Would lightly covering it with straw or something help, or should it be left well enough alone?

Cheers,

Michelle

I've seen more minis killed with tlc here than I care to think about. I resist all impulses to help the little critters out. The only help I give them is if we have temperatures forecast in the teens. I'll put a cardboard box over them at night and remove it the next day.

Alright, then. Nothing but water and tough love for Denver's Dream.

Thanks!
