These little roses were in 2" pots and dusted with glitter for the Christmas season. This was the last one in the clearance rack. I was unable to resist. Sighing!

I'm not entirely sure if this is a tea rose, a miniature rose, or a micro mini rose.

It's now in a 4" pot in a sunny south facing window and hoping I don't kill it. Crossing Fingers!

It's so cute!

I'm going to go peruse this forum for care tips... I'll need the help.
I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.

Give it the biggest pot you can get away with and its chances of doing well increase greatly -- usually. I tip my hat to you.

Do you have it inside? Roses hate to be inside. I would find a sunny spot outdoors for it as soon as possible. You don't need to get it in a big pot immediately. I like to pot mine up gradually as the plant grows. I found that if you put it in too big a pot they stop growing and blooming while they work on filling the pot with roots. It is probably a miniature rose. Most of the grocery store roses are minis. Keep it moist but not soggy and you can give it a little half strength fertilizer after it finishes blooming.

What Seil said. If you're in Florida, get it outside asap. Put it outside in the shade and gradually move it to full sun.

It'll go out today.

I've already got Rose & Bloom slow release plant food for my other flowering plants. Should I use that after it's done blooming or the Annuals & Perennials slow release plant food?

The only remaining bud bloomed at some point yesterday and got a bit beat up before I could snap a picture.

I'm still pleased.
