USDA certified organic herbs, vegetables and perennials from the California Central Valley

Windy City Miniature Rose was introduced by Ralph Moore in 1974. Windy City is one of our tallest miniature roses easily reaching three feet or more. It is a prolific bloomer throughout the growing season.

Like all roses, miniature roses are sun loving and fairly drought resistant. Plant in well drained soil and fertilize with an organic fertilizer in the spring. We prune out dead canes whenever we notice them and shape the plant to the height and width we want in fall. All rose petals are edible if grown organically and make attractive garnishes for salads. They can be added after cooking to almost any dish. Whole buds can be used to decorate cakes or other confections. Sample buds should be pulled apart and inspected for insects before using on food.

Windy City Miniature Rose has perfectly shaped buds that are ideal for drying or using in fresh crafts like our fresh Herbal Wreath.  It would make an excellent addition to our  Crafter's Herb Garden Six Pack.

Occasionally this plant is available in plug trays. These trays hold 128 of all the same plant.  They are a great low cost way to fill a lot of space. Each cell is 3/4 of inch by an inch. Check here to see if Windy City Miniature Rose Plug Trays are available.
