I am looking to plant my first miniature roses and I have several questions.

I am leaning towards cupcake for a 25' border after researching ALOT of choices. I chose cupcake for it's hardiness, disease resistance, short compact size, and it's full bloom. If there is a better choice please feel free to let me know.

I also would like to know how far apart to plant this flower.

I would also like to know where is the best place to purchase this rose and what is it I need to be looking for from the retailer I choose.

I will be ordering for next spring so advice on how soon to order would be great also.

Thank you for your time. please feel free to ask any questions. I have enjoyed searching this form with all the information everyone has posted.
