Miniature Rose Highlight | Pink Tumbleweed & Little Grey Pearl

Hey guys! Welcome back to my garden. In today's video I wanted to highlight some miniature roses that I am growing in my zone 5a garden. And the first rose that I wanted to showcase is actually considered a micro rose and that is the one and only pink tumbleweed. Pink tumbleweed is part of Grace Rose's Farm's Wanderlust Rose Collection and she is considered a micro rose and I believe it's actually a Japanese red rose. It has the tiniest blooms that turn hot pink and white as they age. Once pink tumbleweed gets blooming it is in bloom non-stop throughout the season and adds just the perfect sparkle to the garden. Right now my garden is looking absolutely gorgeous if I may say so myself. So I'm just going to show you a little bit. Pink tumbleweed is a bone root rose. I actually purchased these three rose bushes that I'm showing you right here in 2024 from Grace Rose's Farm. This rose I very rarely deadhead, like almost never. It just continues to flush and clean itself throughout the season which is amazing. I always love a low maintenance rose that I don't have to fuss about. Being a miniature rose this rose should not get any bigger than about 18 inches rounded. It is very very compact. In terms of winter dieback I've really experienced zero in zone 5a. This rose is also just very healthy. One of my favorite roses of all time is Ashley which is a tantal rose. So I just wanted to show you this because it is just looking absolutely gorgeous. When tumbleweed ages the blooms fade to white so you get this really kind of sparkle effect on the bush where you have pink and white and all shades in between and it's just gorgeous. I purchased a few more one gallon tumbleweed roses from Grace Rose Farm because I love this rose so much. I just can't get over how tiny and adorable these blooms are. You can also purchase this as a three gallon from Grace Rose Farm. I think this would make a great rose to use along a walkway or in front of a border or if you wanted to under plant underneath like a tree where but it has to get you know full sunlight because roses need sunlight to grow. So I planted mine underneath a decorative evergreen tree. Here is a rose called Lilac Veil. It's not miniature though the blooms are pretty small. I just planted this this year. The last miniature rose is called Little Gray Pearl. I purchased this from Rogue Valley Roses bred by Paul Barden. It lacks vigor but it just has the most unusual color that I've ever seen and so it earned a spot in my miniature rose garden. Have a good one guys! Thanks for watching!
