Overview

Laura Ford is a yellow miniature rose bred by Christopher H. Warner. It was patented in the US in 1994 as PP9012 under the name 'Chewarvel', with Bear Creek Gardens as the assignee. Each flower carries around 20 petals and is small, roughly 1 to 1.5 in (2.5 to 3.8 cm) across, with a faint fruity scent. The patent rates its resistance to powdery mildew, downy mildew, and rust as average, so good air flow and routine checks help. It suits pots, edging, and small spaces.
