Anyone know about roses. I was given a lovely miniture yellow rose bush, a month ago. Now the roses are white with red around the outside edge of petals. Am I suppossed to feed it something.

were you told it was a yellow rose? or did it actually have yellow flowers on it when you were given the rose?
there are a couple beautiful varieties of red rimmed white roses.
i love roses- have fairy roses, climbing roses, antique roses...
roses need food
and do best planted outside- in the sun- not in a pot.
i feed my roses every 2 weeks through the growing season.

My mother loves the mini roses, and keeps them on her sunny MT windowsill all winter. I don't think she does anything special, but the color change is surprising. You might ask at a local nursery, or contact the supplier if there is a tag in the pot.

Thanks, I will try the epsom salt.No name on it. It was just covered with tiny yellow roses when I got it, Within a week they faded to white with red tinge. It was in a pot on my patio, have since planted in the garden. Will make sure to protect in winter.

Every once in a while I throw a banana peel on the ground beside my roses, my husband would just look at me. Now he loves showing off how much they have grown and how pretty they are. I was told once by a elderly lady that's what she did to hers, she said it was the potassium in the bananas. Whatever it is my roses love them.
