Miniature Roses

Still looks good?

21 years ago

We have alot of rain where I live. I've noticed that some of my minis still look good after a rain and some get brown around the edges. I eventually want to replace the ones that don't hold up after a rain. Which mini roses still look good after rain and are showy?

Me, I get nothing but rain in New Orleans; I find it depends on how old the bloom is and how fierce the rain is.
Mr. Bluebird seems to always look good; so does Cinderella and Pink Poodle. Some roses (like my old family rose Henrietta's Pink Picayune, think Rouletti but more double) just seem to give up on certain blooms and you have nasty looking brown stuff. It may have to do with the plant overextending itself (I notice my Pink Picayune, which is in a pot and has been snipped a lot for cuttings, does not do this as much. Perhaps pruning a little more is the key?
I'm not sure on this, but it might be the secret.
