I have a popcorn drift I planted last year and it has tiny leaves. I'm not sure if it's considered a mini, but it's a small. Also, my Sweet Sunblaze has small flowers and small leaves. I also really like the smaller roses and this year I added a carpet rose - it hasn't bloomed yet but it's leaves are also small.

Ratdogheads, how about Marriotta? Here is mine. Helen

I have a salmon sunblaze. It’s grown to 2x2. Small leaves and abundant small flowers. Self dead head, not just the petals but the entire flower. No fragrance. This year it got BS early so lost most of its leaves but still bloomed a ton.

I have a few minis and Apricot Twist, Lavender Jewel, Hula Hoop, and Jean Kenneally all have lovely dainty little leaves. We had a late spring so I am still waiting on most of the blooms but here is Apricot Twist last year. The bloom is less than 2in across so you can tell how small the leaves are.

Helen every time I see your Marriotta I want to get one!

threeboxerlover, I just looked up Popcorn drift and it's adorable! Can you tell yet what the growth habit will be? I wonder if it's trailing, like a ground cover.

I shall check out your Sweet Sublaze and sbrklyn's Salmon.

Helen, Marriotta is on my wish list already thanks to your fabulous photos :) I grew it years ago and lost it (voles?), one of the best!

joeywyoming, Dainty little leaves are just what I am after...Apricot Twist & Lavender Jewel are in my collection, and are both wonderful. I've often admired pictures of Jean Kenneally such a soft color, love the picotee blooms on Hula Hoop.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ratdogheads - I'm so sorry I just saw this! I need to pay better attention to the little notifications! My popcorn drift is not really acting like a groundcover yet - but this is its second year so that could change. It basically acts just like my Sweet Sunblaze which is a like a shrub rose but much smaller. When I"m done work I will snap a pic of both of them and post them here.

Ratdogheads I've been trying to upload pics but am struggling. Hopefully I figured out the issue and this time it will work! Forgive the weeds:

Great pictures redh Well I don't grow Firefall ead dogs.but the pictures I've seen from heart with roses are really beautiful. It is a climber but tiny leaves and flowers.

These have very small leaves, especially Petite Pink Scotch. It is not classed as a mini but blooms and leaves are tiny. Leaves are about the size of a grain of popcorn or smaller.

Petite Pink - leaves are tiny but plant is not if you plant it in the ground.

Little Meghan, a micro mini:

Strawberry Swirl, a miniature moss

Mountain Mignonette, not classed as a mini but it has small blooms and leaves:

Charles Walker Mignonette

Karine

Those are all the epitome of charming! Love Petit Scott

So many good examples of petite foliage. Funny how it doesn't necessarily mean small plant. I wish I had more room. I have 2 raised beds where I am attempting to collect smaller minis.

Earsmus, I would sell my soul for another Little Meghan, I had one that I lost Io voles and a bad winter. Did you get yours from Two Sisters? I so miss them.

threeboxerlover, I will certainly look for Popcorn Drift. Love the color variation.

I have several of these great suggestions. Here is my Red Cascade about to burst into bloom. It's competing with an old rose that needs to be tamed, but as you can see Red Cascade is rising to the challenge.
