This is another new rose from Chris Warner. ‘Bright Spark’ (syn. CHEwdayglow). We class it as a mini-flora, though its double, well-formed blooms in a deep red with a yellow reverse, are more reminiscent of a true miniature rose. It is quite tall with larger foliage than a miniature rose in dark, glossy green. 1m

Splash! (syn. CHEwpatrain) An interesting, somewhat ‘jazzy’ miniature rose from our Chris Warner collection, with small, semi-double, open blooms which are striped and splashed in vermilion and cream. The foliage is small, mid-green and quite glossy, with reasonable health. It’s probably best grown in a container. 0.5m x 0.6m

'Colorado' (BENcolorado). One of the last roses to reach Australia from the late, great miniature rose breeder, Frank Benardella. This exquisite mini-flora produces warm white blooms of exhibition quality, singly and in small clusters, on good length stems, surrounded by clean, healthy, dark green, glossy foliage. This culmination of a great rose breeder’s work is a must have for the miniature rose exhibitor/connoisseur and rose historian alike. For the front of the border or pot culture 0.8m x 0.5m
