Miniature Roses

Does anyone grow Giggles?

Last fall, members of my rose society went to another member (who was going into assisted living) and dug up a bunch of his rose. Many were not marked, so we've had to wait for them to bloom to ID them. One I have that did not bloom all year and I feared it was rootstock, just showed some buds. Tiny little pink things tightly curled. From process of elimination using his list, I think it's Giggles. Does anyone grow this? What can you tell me about it. The blooms look so tiny but the bush looks full size.

I've been growing Giggles for a bunch of years. The bush (own root) gets 4' x 3'. Nice and bushy. Not ratty. The blooms are a nice solid pink, about an 1 1/2" with about 25 petals. I need to start paying better attention to this rose. It makes a good exhibition rose when caught early enough. It will open up fairly quick weather cut or on the bush. I don't think you have Giggles. In the spring, even cut back to 8"/12", it comes back strong and blooms heavy right away.

Please post some photos when it blooms. Maybe someone will be able to ID it for you.
