    Well friends,before I buy a miniature (yellow) rose bush, Im wondering if I'm wasting my money.
    This is the same place I bought my tomato plant with little success.
    I worry with the Fall and Winter coming, I may not be able to keep it alive.
    The pot it comes in is barely to support to keep it alive.
    Had to go outside cause my place was on fire,but just a BBQ next door.
    Take care and sleep warm.

    It will go dormant for the winter, you can leave it outside on nice sunny days. But if you get really cold temps with snow/ice for several days you will want to bring it inside, then put it back out when the temps are above freezing. Keep it watered too to keep the roots from drying out.

    Next Spring on the warmer days you could transplant it to a larger pot and put it outside to enjoy the sun and warmth. It should start putting out new growth in late Spring, then it can stay outside and would only have to be brought it if you had a freak cold snap.
