- This compact, small pink rose has been growing quite well over at Jeff Searle's nursery and house in S. Florida, but no one seems to know any name on it. It grows about 3 to 4 ft tall, spreads slightly and covers itself with blooms throughout much of the summer and fall. If any Rose fans out there has a species, group name, hybrid group or anything, it would be much appreciated. I am the furthest from being a Rose person and I know its a massive enclave in the plant world. The flowers are about an inch (2cm) across.

- Not the plant at its most showy, but it really puts out the blooms when in the ground. I wish I had the name on it for the purposes of a description card. Referring to it as just that 'pink rose' gets old.

I have heard it referred to as "Cracker" Rose. It is one of the few that are somewhat reliable here. I think Craig Morel used to grow them at the Boca Hotel when he worked there.

So many species,

so little time.

Let me help you out a little. I'd start calling it a pink miniature rose ;)

Surprised to see a rose in Florida - no sunburn? Roses are a staple up here in the North and definitely something I can appreciate.
