MINIATURE ROSES 
These wee little roses, which have so captured the hearts of gardeners every- 
where, are so dainty, yet so hardy and easy to grow, that there’s no limit to their 
uses. As edgings for large rose beds; as borders along walks; for sunny spots in the 
rock garden; as points of interest in window boxes or plant boxes on the terrace or 
patio—nothing can serve you with more charm than these tiny little roses, perfect 
replicas of their larger sisters. Nice to cut, too, they’re a “natural” for the miniature 
section of the flower show. 
CULTURE: Plant in full sun in good soil. Spray or dust exactly as you would 
for large roses. Prune very lightly when dormant, removing only dead wood or 
branches too long to look well. These varieties grow from 8 to 12 inches tall.
