Pollination Information:

Mini Rose 'Cupcake' plants are self-pollinating, meaning they do not require another plant for pollination. However, if you have multiple Mini Rose 'Cupcake' plants or other varieties of roses nearby, cross-pollination may occur, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.

Mini roses are primarily pollinated by bees, butterflies, and other insects that visit the flowers to collect nectar and pollen. These pollinators play a crucial role in the reproduction of the plants by transferring pollen from the anthers to the stigma, leading to the formation of seeds.

It is important to attract pollinators to your garden to ensure the successful pollination of your roses. Planting a variety of flowers that bloom at different times throughout the season can help attract pollinators and create a diverse ecosystem in your garden.

Mini Rose 'Cupcake' is hardy in U.S.D.A. Hardiness Zones 5 to 9, making it suitable for a wide range of climates. With proper care and maintenance, these plants can thrive and produce beautiful blooms year after year.
