    Hi there,

    Visited a friends garden yesterday and she has some lovely tiny roses, she has no idea as to what they are and i would really like some.

    They had small double heads and were in pink and also in white and looked like they were also doing a pretty good job as ground cover.

    Any idea's oh wise ones?

    Hello, Liz (and ag [​IMG] ). You know, I never did find out what my tiny orange rose was and I wrote three companies asking if they could identify it. Shame, but never mind, I've still got it with it's up to 60 blooms per stem ... having a rest at the moment.

    Further update :(

    Because of the hot weather one of the dogs decided that it wanted to dig out a shady hole - where my roses were :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Gave them mouth to mouth and replanted, praying for them to pull thru [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Fank u Liz,

    The petals are off the pink one but the red still intact.

    Oxygen and rose food administered, they are in the ICU, we can only wait and pray [​IMG] [​IMG]
