There are many outstanding roses, but too often we overlook miniature roses. Rainbow's End will delight you from the moment it first opens to the very end and it will not be the same color twice. This rose is both miniature in bloom and habit growing to less than two feet high and about two feet wide. I have two - one in full sun and one in partial shade from a crape myrtle on one side and variegated albelia on the other. Both are furious bloomers. If you'd like even more blossoms, use a little Messenger. The blossoms start yellow with red tips; over time the red takes over and what is left of the yellow turns to white. It is a wonderful rose to add to your landscape as it will fit in so many spots since it maintains it's small size. Unfortunately, this rose will require spraying and it may even lose most or all of it's leaves from blackspot, but it just bounces back. If you are interested in a larger version, there is a climbing Rainbow's End which grows 6 to 8 feet tall offered by Bridges Roses.
