Beginner Gardening: Do Miniature Roses need to sleep?, 1 by Lavda

Hi Hsquared22, what did you do in the end? I have the same problem now, and it isn\'t due to the fact that the rose plant was stressed. I got it this summer, it was beautiful, it bloomed, looked very healthy, etc. Then in november, although still mild weather, I brought it in thinking it could be green throughout the winter inside. All leaves started falling out towards the end of November, I thought it was going dormant and took it outside to cooler weather. Since we had an unprecedented warm December, it just now started to dip to mid 30s, I checked and the rose started putting out new leaves and branches turned green. I now have a dilemma - keep it in or take it outside to sleep (even after it appeared to have woken up). Any thoughts? Thanks.

Ps: just in case is relevant, I do not get a lot of sunshine inside, I have a patio that gets a bit more (definitely more light at least) but it is still shady for most part of the day.
