Hi Dylan ..

Congratulations on your purchase of your first miniature rose ... It looks like you purchased a healthy plant.

First a bit of bad news ... rose are not indoor plants. Without a lot of extra work, they will not thrive indoors as you cannot provide the kind of light they need and may not be able to provide the proper humidity. In Europe, miniature roses are sold as throw-away plants. They are used for temporary home decoration and after a few weeks, people just throw them away. They can be good container plants or garden plants outdoors.

So now the question back to you is: When you keep your rose outdoors, do you plan to keep it as a container plant or plant it in the ground ?

In either case, you will probably want to replace the soil the plant is growing in right now as these roses are supplied to nurseries, big box stores, grocery stores, etc. by subcontractors which do not necessarily use the best soil for you to use going forward.

Once you know what you plan to do with the rose, I, or others on this forum, can give you more specific care information.

Smiles,
Lyn
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
