Rose from Coles..help needed

| Hi everyone
I have bought what would seem like a miniature rose from Coles today.
It has no information on it anywhere and nobody in the store was able to tell me anything about it.
Does anyone know what it could be?..
They have been brought in for Mothers Day obviously but I was so taken with the colour I bought it!
It was $11.50.....hope I havent bought a dud.
I guess it would be a hot house rose, bred to bloom for this occasion. It has no perfume.
So anyone with any ideas?
Much appreciated- guess I could pot it and leave it over winter? ...don't know?
I have attached a a magazine next to the rose to give an idea of height and size.It is just over 30 cms tall.
Thanks

It looks a lot like a miniature standard I have called Peachy Keen.

Is it really a dud if it doesn't have a name? I bought 4 pretty tiny roses last year, with no names. These plants may very well be un-named seedlings, so why try and attach the name of a plant that looks similar? Why not just give it a garden name?
Naming only becomes an issue if someone else sees it and wants the same rose. You could overcome this by striking cuttings. Also if you were showing or selling propogations from this rose, you would require a name. Otherwise, the name doesn't matter. Just enjoy this lovely little rose. |

| Hi Michelle, There is a photo of Peachy Keen on "Help me find" but the colour is really off. It makes it look like a pink rose and it really isn't, but at least you can compare shape. Cheers,
Dee. |
