Listed by preference, 1. "Auguste Renoir" very nice rich shade of medium pink, very fragrant, of old rose. 2. for bloom form and fragrance, "Liv Tyler" (actress who played Arwen,in Lord of the Rings) syn. "Comtesse de Province", I treasure every single bloom. An uncommon shade of peach-pink bright but not oversaturated. Nice fragrance, of sun ripened peaches. Stingy bloomer but each rose is very pretty. 3. . Yves Piaget. It is too hot in Oakland California to grow peonies, so I console myself with the blooms of Y.P. 4. "Rouge Royale" I much prefer this rose over our "Mr. Lincoln" for a fragrant red, as it is much more productive of bloom. with reservations, even in Calfornia, doesn't open well, 3. "Betty White" Meilland, released by Star roses, I feel this should be on Romantica list. LIke a shrub rose on steroids. 6 months after being planted she is a tall giantess,with towerlike columns of 2 canes with 14-16 blooms on each,and a good number of blooms elsewhere for something that has such big blooms, huge glossy leaves, gigantic blooms, nearly baseball sized, of creamy white and pale pink. very fragrant of old rose and rose cologne. Here it only opens well when we have 4-5 days of 80 degrees plus weather, otherwise the buds rot in the morning sea mist. Haven't done a petal count yet. 5. Toulouse Latrec, fully 1/3rd of the blooms of our plant have vegetal centers, which makes me wonder why Meilland put it on the market, I've seen this trait appear in several T-L"s for sale. "Polka" is nice in arrangements but requires immediate deadheading to bloom well. Thank you Meilland for a modern alternative to H.T.s. Luxrosa

Hi coleus. Sorry no one answered. I did find reference to some of them at Helpmefind.com. Snow Meillandina is one that is available through what we call our "big box" (nationwide chain) hardware stores. People probably grow it, but they may not know the name. Quite often, the proper name for these are not provided with the plant. It doesn't look like Baby Romantica® and Spot Meillandina® are available here at all.

Je te propose une autre idée puisque ce rosier vient d'être commercialisé cette année avec "Fleur de Sardaigne". C'est un rosier très remontant avec d'énormes bouquets de petites roses et grimpant, pas de maladie, facile à vivre. Je te le recommande vivement. Dans mon jardin il est superbe. Bye. NadineRX

Salut, je ne suis pas veritablement passionés par les rosiers miniatures mais les connais tres bien. Tres bon choix le baby romantica, tu verras que si tu le plantes en pleine terre il te ferra facilement un buisson d'un metre sur un metre. En rouge je te conseille Ruby-ruby qui n'est pas de chez meilland mais qui vaut le detour, et sinon en blanc teste le bridal, une merveille :) Voila j'espere que je t'aurais renseigné, a plus...
