I adore rose but object to the work required to nurture them As Vikki says, benign neglect save for here in rural France where snails are rampant and obviously not consumed in sufficient quantities!
Living in rural north central Alabama. Currently overstocked with pets and poultry. Having lived in several small towns and larger cities, country life is taking some getting used to.

I'm a strong believer in the strength of benign neglect. Works well with gardens, aging cats and children, too. Let's hear it for passive love.
That's my kind of rose! Pretty big for a miniature...proof that plants would rather be left to their own devices (99% of the time).
What a lovely rose. I love plants that don't need a lot of care, especially if they have such nice blossoms.
BEAUTIFUL! How lucky your sister is to have such low maintenance little roses. If only I had a green thumb:)
Nice roses - looks like something I could manage!
It may be 'the fairy rose' I have one in our garden, but the roses are a lighter pink. Hope this helps a bit :o)
Vicki, me too!
Lisa, if it's a plant of mine, it had better thrive on neglect. :)
NCMW, yeah I was surprised that this one was so easy.
Anne-Marie, my thumb is kind of brown. ;) I do have some Knockout roses that are very care-free.
Shellmo, yeah I know the feeling. :)
Liz, thanks, still haven't heard back from my sister so you may be right! Thanks.

Mouse, that's one reason I love the Knockout roses so much... no trouble!
