‘Baby Bunting’—A delightful, small rose with red flowers of a deep, startling shade. This variety is an inch or so taller than some, but many of my friends think it ideal in that they like to make miniature flower arrangements and appreciate slightly longer stems. Among its other charms, the rose is most delightfully fragrant.
‘Baby Crimson’—I’ve never had this one grow taller than six inches. Since I have maternal instinct for the wee ones, I love it. Under the right conditions it will bear tiny crimson flowers and exquisite buds up until frost time.
‘Bo-Peep’—This one has a charm in its name, and is one of the more popular miniature roses. It has double pink blooms, forms a bush with a neat conformation, and is another favorite with those who make miniature arrangements. You needn’t worry about cutting its blooms. It is always growing more.
‘Cinderella’—This one fits beautifully into the legend about the girl with the glass slipper. It has dainty white blooms touched with pink and is in the true tradition of rose shapeliness. Seemingly, it loves to bloom.
‘Granada’—In some listings I find the name spelled ‘Granata.’ Regardless of the spelling, I love the bushes I have grown, for the lovely, semidouble, red flowers which the bush bears so profusely. A tiny vase filled with them makes one wish to build a doll house in which to display it.

a. Leafed out
b. A growing bush
