I recieved this beautiful potted miniture rose for Mother's Day. How do I identify the type of rose it is? and do I need to put it in a larger pot? Thanks.

Miniature roses always do better in a larger pot as they like to have their roots cool. As there are over 300 new roses introduced yearly, it is very hard to identify a rose accurately..

I know this thread is nearly 5 yrs old, however I too received a beautiful, small, red container rose in a plastic decorative pot for Mother's Day a few years ago. The pot was no more than 3-4 inches around. It wasn't doing well in the pot, so I planted it in the ground where it got morning shade and afternoon sun. It thrived beautifully. I planted alyssum around it and it was outstanding until we had our first big freeze. I never got the name of it though.

The rose I am looking for is lavender not the pale one I have found and not dark purple but a deep greyish lavender. I asked a florist and she said it is called a Sterling rose. I cannot find it anywhere. Any ideas?

There is a Florist Sterling Silver. I propagated it years ago from florist stock and shared it with Vintage Gardens. I don't know of anyone else who may still have it. Unfortunately, I lost it some time ago. Good luck!

This rose is called Sterling Silver, but it's not an easy rose to grow in the east coast. There's another lavender color called Lagerfield. I bought it today and hope it will survive better than my sterling silver.

I recently moved to a house with five established rose bushes. One of them I thought was going to be white, accually turned out to be a lime-green flower. Does any one what kind of rose this might be?

there are actually a few roses that are green to varying degrees. If it a miniature rose it could be "Green Ice" which does have pink and white buds. Another mini is "Green Diamond" though those buds are mostly white. There is a new rose called "Table Mountain", a full sized rose that is extraordinary and is pinkish on the outer petals. Green roses are not common choices for most gardeners but to my eye they are beautiful, too. "Botanica" is the huge full color encylclopedia of roses and you might find your rose in there. The book is available at barnes and noble and borders books. --Good Luck!

Your lime green rose might be St. Patrick. It has a green tint.
