Well, first, there were two yellow miniatures sold as Golden
Sunblaze. If the tag has the code name on it (something like MEIcupag), it will let you know which of the two it might be. The first one sold under that name was Ralph Moore's Rise'n Shine. Meilland didn't have any minis of their own breeding when the miniature boom started, so they licensed other peoples' minis to be sold under their trade names. Once they had bred their own, they substituted them for the trade names. So, yours could be either rose.

In Zone 5b, both will be quite a bit smaller than they will in warmer, longer seasons, but I would think either could grow to about an 18" X 18" head on top of the 24" trunk. Perhaps if they aren't pruned hard each year and don't suffer significant winter damage or die back, they may grow larger. Congratulations on your bargain! Kim

Thanks for the info Kim!

The roses I got are from Monrovia (according to pot and label on the trees) and the name of them is Rosa x 'Meicupaq'.

Forgot to mention I bought large concrete planters 18" T x 21" D x 21" W and I will be storing them in my non insulated garage for the winters. I don't want to plant them in the ground and risk losing them after another harsh winter.
