In 1922 Major Roulet found a number of cute pink roses with blooms less than half an inch in diameter growing on window ledges of Swiss cottages. Although these roses probably already had a name, Rouletti is what they have become known as, after Roulet who “found” them. Since the introduction of Rouletti hundreds of varieties have been created. Miniatures are winter hardy and easy to grow in containers, as borders, and in mass plantings. They bloom from late spring through the fall.
