| Hi, I just went to a local garden center and while shopping for soil I notice a few trees on the clearance rack. I just picked up a few Golden Sunblaze Miniature Rose trees on a 24" standard for $3 a piece. They are all very healthy but not flowering yet, I couldn't pass the deal since a few weeks ago I spent $40 on a Double Knockout standard. I had a question about the height and width of this tree at mature. The tag doesn't mention any dimension of the tree or growth rate. I tried to look online but I can't find any info in this rose tree aside from the Monrovia site which doesn't list anything either. Any info or site on this tree would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

| 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. |
