The finest mini rose I've ever grown for cutting. Gorgeous two-tone, usually perfect-formed rose on a few-inch stem. And good quantity.

I absolutely love this minature rose. Minnie Pearl is always full of blooms, they have a great spicy scent and the blooms are as lovely in form as any hybrid-tea rose.
