One of the largest miniature rose bushes I grow is Giggles. In 3 yrs time the bush is 5'x3'. It makes a nice full bush. Ton's of blooms that stay miniature with foliage that compliments the bloom. I have several miniflora's that top 6' tall. Dr. John Dickman, Whirlaway, are just a couple that come to mind instantly. I have learned over the years just because it says "miniature" doesn't mean the bush will be small.

My Softee can get 3 by 3 feet easy in a season. And I have cold winters and have to prune it short every spring.

The largest size miniature rose, bar none is Gourmet Popcorn . It gets 6' tall and 5' wide. Just because it says miniature. It's the bloom size that determines miniature

I agree that Gourmet Popcorn is my largest miniature rose, but you probabably know that it is not the plant size that classifies a rose as a miniature rose, but the size of the bloom. Plant size can be anywhere from 6" to 6', but if the rose has blooms of 1" or less, it is called a miniature rose.

If you reread the end of my comments , I said that

I'm glad I read this! I just got a Gourmet Popcorn from a friend and I was going to put it in a spot where I thought it would stay small. But now I've changed my mind.

Guys can you plz post pics of your minis? Im searching for good mini of Paulsen i would appreciate any help

I will post mine on another thread so I don't hijack this one.

I purchased Peppermint Kisses and Olivia Rose from that site. They are growing nicely and I'm waiting in anticipation for them to bloom.

I was just with Richard. The Illinois-Indiana District had him for a program. He showed pictures of both roses. He has a lot of nice ones!

He was very nice to talk to on the phone. Very personable.

Oh my, to say that For Love of Roses has a lot of nice roses is a bit of an understatement! He has most, if not all, of the best exhibition varieties out there today. Always sends nice quality plants, too. Since Nor'East has gone, Richard has become my favorite and main source of minis and minifloras. Of which I am very fond.

This is Rainbow's End. It's such a cheerful bush.

I have Gourmet Popcorn too. It has barely grown at all, which is fine as it would be too big in its spot.

Does Rainbow's end suffer with Black Spot?

In my area, yes, it does black spot.

My Rainbow's End does blackspot but the Climbing RE doesn't blackspot nearly as bad.
