I'm trying to find a very old version of a no care vineing miniture rose. My Grandmother had a country fence beside her house that was covered in them. They were never pruned or treated with anything and grew furiously. She lived there in the mid to late 1800's and I saw them when my father took over the house and property. The house was located in Southern Illinois. Any ideas?

Climbing Cécile Brünner was my first choice also. I have one climbing a stucco pillar that is now being trained to arch around the ceiling of one of my patios. I hold up the soft canes with small metal cups/discs that adhere with household silicon as to be easily removed if necessary. I also paint them the same color as my stucco so they aren't shiney and visible. There is a small loop on the outer part of the disc to thread through a long garden twist-tie, garden tape or string. Works great!

I recieved this beautiful potted miniture rose for Mother's Day. How do I identify the type of rose it is? and do I need to put it in a larger pot? Thanks.

Miniature roses always do better in a larger pot as they like to have their roots cool. As there are over 300 new roses introduced yearly, it is very hard to identify a rose accurately..

I know this thread is nearly 5 yrs old, however I too received a beautiful, small, red container rose in a plastic decorative pot for Mother's Day a few years ago. The pot was no more than 3-4 inches around. It wasn't doing well in the pot, so I planted it in the ground where it got morning shade and afternoon sun. It thrived beautifully. I planted alyssum around it and it was outstanding until we had our first big freeze. I never got the name of it though.

This rose is outstanding. It appears to completely resistant to anything, keeps is healthy green foliagea and is in continual bloom with outstanding growth in Zone 9 (Scottsdale, AZ) from spring through summer.
