Title: Roses
Post by: clarebear on April 10, 2008, 22:03

My wee ds bought me some lovely rose plants for mothers day they came in a pretty pink basket.  

Anyway I think they are houseplants. Can you plant them outside or will they just die?

Mini roses I take it.

We have several growing outside that have been bought as pressies in the past.

I'd harden them off a bit before sticking them outside though.

Definitely harden off as they're greenhouse grown and not used to outside direct sun or cooler temps. Mulch for winter and they'll keep coming back.
