Cam,

Please take no offense, but see if you can provide shots of blooms in better condition. It's really hard to identify the rose from the photos you provided. There are literally hundreds of mini rose varieties.

Also, perhaps give some history on the rose. Where did you get it? What is the flower size? How tall is the bush? Spreading or upright in growth habit? One to a stem or a cluster bloomer?

The first bloom you have shown above is a proliferation, vegetative growth, which is due to over fertilization or a characteristic of that variety, or both.

unfortunately, there is only one bloom right now. it is small right now.

That is a picture of the whole plant. it is in a larger pot that is over 10 inches tall. it has thorns , tiny serrated leaves, and a fruity scent that you have to put your nose right into the bloom to smell. the bloom is around 1 inch. i bought it on Etsy. the seller said they can grow 2 feet wide and 2 feet tall. the seller said it was an orange red color. i have mine outside and I live in southwest AZ. it has been very hot outside lately. that is why i do not have better blooms right now. it has been really hot. thank goodness my minis have shade during the hottest part of the day. someone thought it might be a peach sunblaze. but i am not sure. it kind of looks more like a mandarin sunblaze to me. wha what ddo you think it might be?

Am I correct in assuming the seller did not identify the rose by name ( as opposed to you knowing the name the seller provided, and you not wanting to ”lead the witness” - us - to receive an unvarnished response to your inquiry)?

Etsy. So many people are getting taken for a terrible ride on this site.

No they did not identify it by name. that is one reason why i am trying to figure out what it is. i have my guess (the mandar sunblaze) and someone ele’s guess (peach sunblaze). But i am unsure if what it could be and would like more opinions on it. so sorry i do not have better photos. i did the best i could with what i had.

The orange with yellow highlights looks a lot like Mandarin Sunblaze to me and they're pretty common in commerce these days. Just my guess - I guessed that before I saw your comment on the label.

Thank you so very much!❤️ I was wondering if anyone eles thought it might be that. my eyesight is not the best. just making sure i had a good guess before i claimed which one it might be. thank you! ❤️

This is such a cute rose! can we see new pictures?

Has not had any more blooms yet. But it is growing. i gave it some worm castings to try and boost it’s nutrition some more and some slow release fertilizer for roses. it is looking better now and seems to be getting some more tiny blooms on it. the they are just not quite big enough yet to be seen well in a photo.

Oh it's going to be soon then!!!

Perhaps. this is my first year with this mini rose. we shall have to see how it does. it will probably do much better when the cooloer weather comes to AZ in winter.

Oh my AZ is so hot right now!!!

OMG DIANE!!!!!!! WOW!!!

LovelLovely. ima imagine hhow much it would grow with fertilizer? wow! i just started out with mini roses this year. righ right now thethey are all small. i got them this past speing. and the heat out here is hard on plants too. b but I hahave managed to keep them going so far… And sometimes if you use worm castings you will not have to fertilize for quite a while with roses. but i ferti them anyway because i like to see how big i can get the to grow adter their first year or two. fish emulsion fertilizer is really great for them and encourages nice big blooms and healthy roots and foliage. un unfortunately it d need to be kept cool….

Get your minis in the ground as soon as you can. Roses were meant to grow in the ground. Diane

Spectacular Diane! How old is it?

I think I planted it about 16 or so years ago. It's been moved once. Thanks, Jemma. And I've told you this before that you share a name with my granddaughter, Jemma. This is the best spelling, right? She was named after Jemma Redgrave, the actress. And I'm sick of this spelling nag acting like I'm misspelling it. Diane

OMG DIANE!!!!!!! WOW!!!

Julie Johnson has what it takes to lead the next seasonal thread.

I thought you were after that job, rufus. Diane

Well, it finally got a nice bloom. it has been hot outside, so please excuse the rose for not producing more g good blooms. It’s blooms change in color from a vivid orange and pink to something more like this.

Cam, that's a lovely bloom with wonderful color. My roses have suffered from the heat, too. It's normal. Diane

We think it might be a manderain sunblaze miniature rose.
