Baby Betsy McCall Miniature Rose

     Rosa 'Baby Betsy McCall' was introduced over 50 years ago, and it's still considered one of the best micro-miniature roses. The charming little pink rosettes each have about 20 petals and bloom in clusters from early June into autumn. And yes, they're fragrant.
     Micro-minature roses are not to be confused with the minis you sometimes see in grocery stores. Generally, those plants aren't bred or cultivated to live long. Micro-miniatures are the result of careful breeding from standard outdoor garden roses, and they'll thrive outdoors with the same care all roses need - full sun, consistently moist soil, and regular fertilization. Note: if you're growing them in containers, regular watering is even more important. and you'll need to repot them about every three years.
