HI, Ziya! I had Rise n Shine and it did not winter for me. I have the regular Rainbows End and mine does not bloom a lot either but with a climber you sometimes have to give them a few years to mature before you get a good bloom on them. Your wintering plan sounds fine. The thing you want them to do is go dormant and stay dormant so do not use that heating blanket. You don't want them to keep leafing out repeatedly. That will just use up all the stored energy the rose has before you can get it back out in the spring. You want them to stay dormant until spring really arrives for good. You don't need to keep them wet but just watered a little about once a month. Yes, the leaves should shrivel up but they may not drop off. I usually have to pull what's left off in the spring.

This rose has been producing its very best roses of the year, now that it's December. I had forgotten just how good this miniature can be. The blooms have been so good, I've brought them indoors for vases. This rose has been growing in our garden longer than just about any of my roses. It was given the nick-name "Flashlight" many years ago by my daughter. After all these years, this is still "her" rose. I've often thought of miniature roses as "disposable" roses, not for the long haul ... but this one has been very durable and keeps on truckin'. Nice memories too. Randy

I have nice,tho small, Scarlet Gem that was rooted last fall Mine is a very productive bloomer with well shaped blooms that are little on the orange side of red (but NOT orangey). check it out on HMF. I live in Keller and can exchange by mail Weldon

It looks great. And looks to be so well maintained. I need to get out there and prune my Rise-N-Shine, so it will look as good as yours. Randy
