Buttermint Miniature Rose Care This miniature rose needs full sun, so choose a spot with six or more hours of direct sunlight. Provide moist soil that is rich, well drained, and slightly acidic. New plants need regular water for the first growing season. Established plants can handle some dryness, but water during a drought to ensure consistent flowering.
