    Overwinters in my zone 5 garden wonderfully. One of the first minis to bloom. Smells WONDERFUL! Very strong fruity fragrance. Adorable little pompom blooms in clusters. Love this teeny rose! The plant itself isn't the smallest, we're talking 2-3' across and about 18-24" tall, but the blooms are about the size of a nickel or smaller.
