I purchased the baby love shrub rose whose description said it would reach medium height (3' or so) at the garden center. I just came across a small tag that said baby love "shrublet". I planted these the middle of May (Im in zone 5) and they are blooming profusly but are only about 12 inches high. How can I tell if these are the miniatures (which will ruin my landscape design as I planted 8 of these) or if they will reach a normal rose height as indicated at the garden center?

Baby Love is classified as a miniature and grows to about 14 inches tall. It may in a warm climate go taller but it is still a miniature rose. I doubt it will reach 3 feet if it is the original Baby Love rose.

"Mini" is a term that I don't very much. Mini only refers to the flowers size, and not the plant. Your Baby Love may grow bigger, I've seen them make beautiful round bushes below my knee.

I wouldn't plant a whole lot of Baby Love. All it does for me is make blooms that last a day and then drop off, leaving many seed heads and few blooms. Phooey. If you want a nice yellow rose, try SunSprite.

Could others who grow Baby Love comment on your experience, as to whether or not its blooms "blow" quickly for you? It sounds like a great rose in other respects, but I prefer roses whose blooms last longer than a day.

Can anyone comment on whether I should plant My Sunshine or Baby Love in my garden? I'm most interested in clean, disease-resistant foliage, fast or continuous rebloom, clean yellow flowers, rounded growth habit under 3'. I don't particularly want single flowers, either. So if someone can recommend a better yellow mini, mini-flora or polyantha that meets these (unreasonable?) requirements, then I would appreciate your advice.

Thanks!

I have grown 'My Sunsine' and love it's single flowers. A beautiful miniflora by the same breeder is 'Yantai'. I have grown this rose in two very different climates and it meets all of your requirements. However, that said, I did not have blackspot in my gardens and cannot tell you if there might be a bs problem.
