Mothers Day over here was on 30 March. My lovely boys made me breakfast in bed and presented me with a mini Standard/Tree Rose. It was so charming! I just had run out and buy another.

They were purchased in Lidl (a slightly upscale version of Aldi). Ive purchased mini roses from Lidle befor and those were best considerd as annual type bedding plants. I'm keeping them on my kitchen windowsill, the steamy, three sink loads of dishes each day should provide enough humidity for them.

My Mothers Day Rose....

My follow up purchase (no blooms yet, but they "should be" white...

Thanks for letting me share.

The pink one is really lovely and the white one looks very healthy, but I'm afraid you really can't keep roses inside, mirendajean. They'll have to go out as soon as possible in order to stay healthy and grow. It's a pity since the smaller roses would be so nice to have indoors, but they insist on having that fresh air circulation around them.

I have to agree with Ingrid. They'll be happier and bloom more outside in the sun. You can keep them out all summer and then put them in a garage or shed for the winter months.
