Are Zwergrosen hardy?
Like many other roses, dwarf roses are only partially winter hardy. Without protection, they seldom survive a long cold winter. But if they are covered, then many varieties can overwinter quite well in the garden.
Sensitive varieties should overwinter better frost-free. If you do not have any winter quarters or are looking for a small, decorative rose-like plant for your garden, perhaps the sunflower is a good alternative for you. It belongs to the family of Cistus plants, flowers in different colors and is hardy.

Container plants and sensitive varieties overwinter preferably frost-free at temperatures between 5 ° C and 15 ° C. Suitable are bright rooms, such as a conservatory or a greenhouse. Pour the dwarf rose about 2-3 times a month so it does not die of thirst. Outdoor plants cover with foliage or brushwood.
Miniature roses in spring
Dwarf roses, which get a lot of sun and air, rarely get sick. Therefore place your tubs with dwarf roses in a sunny spot as possible. In the spring, you should start again with the fertilizer. Possibly also recommends transplanting into a larger vessel, but especially the replacement of the spent potting soil.
Dwarf roses, which have wintered in the bed, re-emerge in May as soon as longer frost periods are no longer expected. Then cut your dwarf roses right back. A pruning in autumn is not recommended for bedding plants, the foliage serves as winter protection.
If you also fertilize your miniature roses in the bed until they start to bloom, then you can also cut the miniature roses for the vase. But always take only a few flowers from each plant, otherwise it appears quickly disheveled.
