Help!

11 years ago

I bought a mini rose for a bridal shower gift at walmart. Then I made mistake #1. I repotted it the same day. (I knew better... but I did it anyway.) Mistake #2 is I didn't realize it wasn't getting enough water even though I was watering it frequently. Then in like one day, the leaves started falling off and the buds shriveled, so I soaked it good and it's looking green and perky again...even if it is a little sparse. but it's not in good shape for a gift!

So I'm stuck with it... and I'm curious... what kind of care does a mini rose need? What kind of light? What kind of plant food? (Does good old fashioned miracle grow work or do I have to pay an arm and a leg for rose food?) Will it be happy forever and ever inside, or should I just plan on planting it outdoors with my other two mini rose bushes come spring?
