Growing & using Lavender Lace Miniature Rose
Lavender Lace Miniature Rose blooms profusely in late spring. It is one of our smaller rose bushes topping out at about two feet in height.
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. Dead canes can be pruned anytime but most pruning occurs in the fall when we shape the plant to the desirable height and width. 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. Before using any flower in food, a sample flower should be pulled apart and inspected for insects.
Lavender Lace Miniature Rose would make an excellent addition to our Crafter’s Herb Garden Six Pack and to our Edible Flower Herb Garden Six Pack.
