Miniature roses are rapidly gaining favour in Australia. No one can fail to admire these most interesting, dainty little plants that produce large numbers of perfect, tiny flowers and are so
easy to grow in rockeries, pots, or window-boxes, or make excellent bordering, six to nine inches high. As the plants are so small, the stems are of course too short for these roses to be of use as cut-flowers. They bloom for long periods if seed-pods are not allowed to set freely. Just as with other plants, pots containing miniature roses must not be allowed to become dry; if sunk in the garden when not in flower, the pots may be lifted and brought indoors when the next flush of blooms appears. In very recent years there has been a great increase in the number of varieties of miniature roses and their range of
colours.
