A friend gave me two miniature roses, they came originally from China. She had nowhere to plant them so gave them to me. They've been growing very happily in my garden against the wall, for 2 years now.
They've never flowered.
I wonder if anyone knows anything about them? Like, do they flower? How can I help them flower? I thought they might be sulking when they first went in so wasn't expecting great things from them the first year or so. I did think they might flower last year, but they didn't, just grew into a great mass of leaves and thorns!
SIL pruned them pretty savagely a few months ago, so they're probably sulking again! I do talk to them encouragingly and nicely, which works on the other roses we have, and honeysuckle and pretty well everything else! A pic is on my profile, though it's hard to see too well, but I promise they are rose leaves, just very small. The thorns are disproportionately savage too!
