If it’s too cold outside to open your windows every now and then, use a small fan to move the air around. (Don’t let the plants touch the water, or the roots may rot.) You can also mist around your plants a few times every day. Use a humidifier or put your plants on top of some pebbles in a shallow tray of water. The average home is too dry for them, which can cause their leaves to drop. Raise the humidity around your mini rose. Roses need regular periods of light and darkness, though, so don’t leave the lights on all the time. The American Rose Society recommends alternating between a cool white, a warm white fluorescent and an incandescent light at a ratio of 3 watts fluorescent to 1 watt incandescent.
Can’t provide that much natural light? If you’re really serious about growing miniature roses indoors, set up some grow lights. Give your mini rose five or more hours of sun every day. But give them a little care, and miniature roses can be great, although temporary, houseplants. Most will bloom indoors for a week or two, although they'll need to be planted outdoors to get the sun and other growing conditions they need for the long run. The tiniest roses, known as micro-minis, have blooms less than an inch wide.īecause minis are so compact, they’re often sold in containers for your windowsill.
Some minis-especially those with lavender or purple petals-even have a fragrance. Miniature roses, re-blooming shrubs that grow about 6 to 36 inches high, are as lovely as their full-size relatives and come in many colors and forms. Rose fans know bigger isn’t always better.
