Blooming is not only affected by temperature, but also by light. In our winters, sunlight intensity is too low for blooming. Also, roses in the house are susceptible to mildew and thrips.

On the other hand, you might get an earlier bloom if you take in a potted rose into a cool room in February.

John Mattock edited an excellent all-around rose book called The Complete Book of Roses, in which you'll find the following advice about choosing roses for indoor growing: The majority of modern Hybrid Teas and Floribundas can be grown with some success under glass. Those with a high petallage are generally more successful. Some of the early-flowering Hybrid Teas are best avoided as they will mature too quickly and are short lived. The beginner will be tempted to grow some of the cut-flower varieties more familiar in the florist's shop. These may prove a disappointment as they have been bred to produce economic crops under very strict growing regimes.
A number of mail-order nurseries carry florist varieties. Carlton Rose Nursery is one that specializes in these varieties and has also hybridized some of them. The House of Meilland has a cut-flower division. Poulsen Roser ApS has bred dozens of miniature varieties for growing indoors.
