- There is no reason why not, but I have never seen many examples.
- Miniature roses in particular seem suitable to make into small indoor
- bonsai.

- You might have a problem finding suitable material though. Roses are
- usually pruned back very hard to stop them getting straggly. The pruning
- marks are often very unsightly (IMO).
-
- If you can find the right specimen, go for it!
