Hard to believe it's a miniature rose, the bush is large. White flowers do not have much for fragrance but is such a great blooming bush. Make great cut flowers for vases. Really do look like popped corn!

I bought Gourmet Popcorn, which is a sport of Popcorn, years ago along with several other miniature roses. It is the only survivor, and I credit that to its tolerance of soils, general toughness, and its remarkable disease resistance.

This is not a tiny mini. Down here in Florida it can exceed 3' tall and at least as wide. It blooms most of the time. It appreciates full sun and adequate moisture and great dirt, but tolerates some shade, mediocre dirt, and drought.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this plant! Please let me know if you grow it in a colder zone than I've indicated, or if I have rated it for colder zones than it tolerates. I've only grown it here in central Florida.
