Polyanthas are small, compact bushes ranging from one to three feet in height, bearing large dense clusters of small blossoms. Polyantha roses rebloom prolifically. They make excellent subjects for containers, mixed borders and patio plantings. Miniatures range in height from 8 to 24 inches and have small buds, stems, foliage and flowers. They are ideal for landscape borders, ground covers and potted indoor plants or hanging baskets.
Miniature roses are a way to have a variety of blooms in a small space.
They are grown on their own roots, so the suckers that come up are the same named variety. They have attractive, leathery foliage and bloom in clusters of many small to medium-sized flowers. Most are highly fragrant, with fruity scents that carry a good distance. They have disease resistance and will grow in filtered shade. They are attractive not only for their bloom, but also as landscape shrubs, with beautiful foliage, form and often bright stems and hips.
