These mini-roses are forced cuttings and usually are in a compost that
wears out quickly. They are not really designed to survive.

We have taken to planting them out into the ground when it is warm
enough and most love that. They seem perfectly hardy.

The other thing to do is to repot the strongest one into a good
compost, tipping its growing points when you do that,  and discard the
others.
