Miniature Rose - Should I repot to a larger pot?

I live in So. California, and just bought a pretty pink miniature rose. It's outdoors now. Should I give it full sun? I want repot it in a larger pot. How soon should I do this? Thanks.

Miniature Rose - Should I repot to a larger pot?
I have had potted miniature roses in both Indiana and North Carolina growing in the landscape. They always did fine. It is too late to put in the landscape now, but next spring would be ideal. They love the sun. If kept indoors, you can repot at any time.
Reply:What the directions say about sun-follow. You can plant them directly into the soil of your garden-with proper fertilizer, etc. Take care. To replant it, please wait until March or April to do so.
Reply:You can report it in a larger pot. Please give it full sun atleast for 7 hours. and put some light fertilizer like cow dung etc.


and water profusely.





All the best.
Reply:Actually, it would be better off in the ground, but as long as you put it in a very large pot it will be fine. Miniature roses can actually get quite large. Anywhere between 3-4 feet and are intended to be landscape plants so if you repot it then go for a really big one like a half barrel or something because their roots need room to spread. The flowers are small, but the bush can get pretty tall. Since you live in So. Cal, there is no rush. These roses can handle anything a average sized rose can handle. Just make sure you give it at least 6 hours of sun light and water it at the base to avoid mold and black spot.


Good Luck
