Sitting out on my little patio rose garden contemplating things and wondering if my miniature rose will ever flower? As I was looking at it, it dawned on me that it might actually not be the one plant I though it was.
Back story, my mum died at the end of August and someone sent me a pot of a red miniature rose from Mark's and Spencers. This spring I potted it up and it has been outside. Does it look like it's more than one plant to anyone else? Should I leave it like it is or separate them when they are dorment? Will they flower again or is that just wishful thinking?
I'm not entirely sure but I believe the tiny potted roses are specially bred in Holland more for inside decoration and none of the miniature roses I've been given haven't survived outside for long, if at all. Yours seem to be doing better but I wouldn't try to separate them. Try giving a weak dose of tomato fertiliser as it contains potash which is good for flowers.
@Nollie I think roses react to weather and can get used to hot weather (a bit like hardening but the other way). When it's hot for a long time or when the weather is steadily getting hotter, they adapt and produce more heat resistant blooms. But when it is sunny after days of cold and rain, the blooms fry almost immediately, even here.
Could anyone advise on this please. My Alibaba climbing rose which I repotted a couple of months ago has 2 new canes. The shorter one is coming from the bottom of an existing cane The taller one is coming from lower. Would this be a new cane or a sucker? I moved the compost to see it clearer.

Bit windy!
Has been much worse than that actually but it wouldn't perform on cue!
