Miniature Roses 
Tiny, tiny roses that are beautifully formed, ruggedly hardy and colorful little copies of the 
big garden roses. Real roses only 8 to 15 inches tall, bloom profusely with roses the size of 
a quarter, are winter-hardy almost everywhere, bloom indoors in winter, bloom for years 
and years, and, yes, they even have tiny thorns. You will love these showy little roses.
