Buttermint Miniature Rose Care

This miniature rose needs full sun, so choose a spot with six or more hours of direct sunlight. Provide moist soil that is rich, well drained, and slightly acidic. New plants need regular water for the first growing season. Established plants can handle some dryness, but water during a drought to ensure consistent flowering. Fertilize monthly to support a prolific bloom cycle.

Prune in late winter or early spring to remove overgrowth and crossed or spindly branches. Routine pruning encourages a full and bushy shrub.
