Miniature Roses

Looking for a humidity tolerant mini

16 years ago

I'm having a tremendous problem with the Lavender Lassies we use near our walkways. I love their look and structure, but our property gets off-the-chart humidity from the ocean in the summer, and in the winter we get fog that lasts all day and leaves everything dripping with moisture. Dealing with the rot and fungal issues is just too time consuming. I'm hoping someone can recommend a mini that tolerates really high humidity levels.

I grow a couple hundred Ralph Moore minis, but I am in Tampa Bay... while not a perfect match,we get the humidity. Do you want the same color as LL ? Also, do you want a climbing mini etc ? Climbing minis seem to do best for my area. Regular minis just do not get deep enough roots a lot of the time. Vineyard Song does pretty well for me, for it not being a climber. Any more info you can give as to what you are looking for will help me narrow down suggestions.
