Walked into a small discount clothing store today and found, strangly enough, more than one tableful
of abused-looking miniature roses. Only 25 cents each for ones in 2 3/8 inch pots. I couldn't
resist buying 12 of them-- at that price if they die, it's no big loss. Also picked up one in a 5
inch pot for $1.00. When I got them home, though, I found that the 5 inch pot one was acutually 5
"tall" roses in one pot (possibly a climbing variety?) and even the 2 3/8 inch ones were 3 tiny
plants per pot.

The soil was moist, so they hadn't been dried out. Maybe they hadn't been getting sunlight? Any
tips on TLC to give these to keep a few alive?
