Pink mini ID

10 years ago

Any guesses as to which pink mini this is? The sepals seem really long to me. The new growth is light green with red edges.

I bought it after Valentines Day for $3.50. It had 6 rose in one pot. The flowers browned and never opened. However, they have set new buds and I am really curious what they will look like and also how big it will probably get.

I separated them yesterday and planted 4 in the ground in 2 in pots. They are doing well so far.

Thanks!

    I'll post when the new buds open but I was hoping someone might have an idea based on the bud.

    Was there any sort of label to tell if it is a Poulsen Roser (Parade, Victory or Hit) rose or a Kordana rose (from Kordes)?

  • 10 years ago

    Probably a Poulsen, but without seeing the open bloom, hard to tell. Also, there are a lot of pink minis sold at the mass marketers.

    Mine didn't have a label. I think just a generic Miniature Rose care tag. If and when it blooms I'll post a picture. And hopefully ut2nc will post one when theirs opens too. :)

    ^^^ mine were the same, just general info. I tracked the nursery down from sinething in the tag and asked them on Facebook but the last time I checked they hadn't responded.


    I will defintely post when they open. I split mine into individual plants. All but the one remaining potted are doing well. I didn't realize the pot was sitting in water and it might not recover. :( Still, 5 out of 6 roses isn't bad!

    Mine were from Walmart also. They had red ones too.

    I have some red ones too. One of them is doing really well. I just repotted it but left all the plants together. I've repotted all of the ones I got except the one I think that is like yours. It's doing well but hasn't bloomed. I want to find a nice pot for it. :) I want to find some nice pots for the ones I just got from TJ's too. None of them are blooming except the red one but jasiminerose4u said they are probably establishing roots in their new homes. I'll be patient :)

    I keep checking in on the one with two buds . They are still a) there and b) perky. Hopefully they will open soon. Waiting is killing me!

    Roses teach patience :)

    I'm still learning.

    I just repotted my Gigi last night. I actually separated each plant. I put them in the same pot but separated them so they can stretch out. Most nerve-racking process ever lol I wish I was at home to check on it. She had so many beautiful blooms on her and such a sweet fragrance. I hope each plant makes it through the transplant. Patience is a pain lol :D The waiting is killing me too. I want my other roses to bloom. But I do see new growth so that's something :)

    I soaked mine in a bucket of water and sort of worked them free. I saw a post on it -here I think. It went pretty smoothly.

    I did that too. I was just so afraid of ripping an important root out by accident. Took my time and it seemed to go ok :)

  • 10 years ago

    ut2nc, how is your separated rose doing?

  • 10 years ago
    last modified: 10 years ago

    5 out of the 6 are doing well. The one I put back in the pot was sitting in water in the outer pot. I didn't know this and it sat for at least 24 hours like that. I reported it into faster draining soil when I reported another rose yesterday. We'll see if it makes it.

    Some of the others sulked a little but a extra water cured that. I haven't even lost the two buds. Here's hoping the cooler weather doesn't bother them and they get to open.

    Good to hear! Thanks.

  • 10 years ago

    All of my minis are officially in pots now. :) Now just to wait for the show. :D

    Two of the roses I think are like the ones you have, have buds forming. :)

  • 10 years ago

    YAY! The one I have is juuuust starting to peek through those sepals. I think a few more days and we'll know what we got ourselves into!

  • 10 years ago

    I can't wait! The suspense is killing me! Hahaha :D

  • 10 years ago
    I was checking on my plants and I think I have a third one with one of those blooms. I'm so excited to see what happens :)
  • 10 years ago

    Getting closer!

  • 10 years ago

    Those long sepals kill me! It's like they are playing dress-up in their Momma's heels!

  • 10 years ago
    Aaaaahhhhhh I'm so jealous and excited at the same time!!! :D

    They are taking their sweet time, that's for sure. We are getting rain tomorrow. I don't know if that will help or hurt matters.

  • 10 years ago

    Any updates?!!? :)

  • 10 years ago

    Not much of one ! I cut one bud and brought it in, hoping it will bloom in case an animal or the expected rough weather finishes the other one off.

    There is a little progress.


  • 10 years ago

    A closer shot.

  • 10 years ago

    I took these this morning.

  • 10 years ago
    Mine aren't that far along. Yours look so pretty even if they aren't open. :) The sepals don't look as big on these.
  • 10 years ago

    They did until the bud fattened up and the sepals spread kind of wide. Much less funny looking now though.
