Baby-sitting Blue Moon

[sei_kun]

puchiko_beam helped me to find a Blue Moon rose tree for my Aunt last weekend. And seeing how my Aunt is really quite busy, I'm taking care of the tree until she has the time to pick it up. I have to admit, I'm a bit reluctant

Muahahaha!! Suntory (Florigene) hasn't managed to get the blue rose "blue" yet. If you see their carnations, there's no real blue

What's the hardiest miniature rose? I was thinking about it, after my Aunt finally pick up this rose I'd probably try to get another one, but maybe a miniature rose since I don't want to take care of something that's too big... that's why I'm thinking of miniature rose.

Well, actually, something like Blue Moon isn't too big. That is, if the size it is on is the maximum size. So... I dunno. Something around the same size or smaller I guess.

weii. gomen. i hardly check my emails. didn't realise there are relpy comments.

Anyway, roses in pots (like what you have) won't grow much bigger, since the rootball is restricted (or is it constricted??). Either way, the only downside that i have is that the plant is more prone to stresses in pots than in ground. due to dry soil. You need to be more meticulous with potted roses.

And with that said, miniature roses are not any easier to take care because it is smaller. I actually thought that miniature roses are easier to die than the normal shrubs. as I said somewhere before, I don't have appreciation for those small roses.
