Anyone have experiance with indoor roses?

The title pretty much explains it.
I have a minI rose I bought this fall and when it was done blooming and had appeared to go dormant I did what the site I found said to and put it in a cool dark place. It's been a couple months since then and it should be ready to bring it out and see if I can force it to "wake up" early... except I'm not really sure how to go about doing that.
Anyone here know?
I haven't been able to find much on Google so far.
Thanks,
Red

Bring it out and make it think it is spring. Warmer temperatures, water, a very mild fertilizer if you want, a bit of sun... My Mom got a couple for Mothers day several years ago. We just planted them outside. They lasted for several years. We forgot to cover them one night when it frosted and they froze. You can pretty much treat them the same way you would a regular rose, just smaller. Bring it out, repot if necessary, find a nice sunny warm window, and it should think it is spring.

Good morning. Gremlins suggestions sound great. I had some, they were called tea cup roses I think, the miniature ones, and I planted mine in pots outside. Now I'm in zone 8 so I just left mine outside year round and they did great coming back every year for several years.
Too, if there is a way for you to set the plant in the bathroom while everyone is showering or bathing, I believe they would enjoy the humidity.

All the window's in my apartment are frozen shut, and with 10 tanks evaporating in my apartment, humidity is something I can supply without trouble.
I wasn't going to repot it but now that I've looked at it I can't remember if I ever checked to see if it was multiple plants or not so I'll have to take care of that.
Thanks everyone

Ok so last night I finally had the dirt I needed to repot the rose... which turned out to be 4 plants.
I have 3 of them in a long "window box" sort of planter and the one that looked like it had the strongest root system was put into the original pot. However I was wondering, should I clip them back at all or just leave them as is?

They are probably small enough that you don't need to trim them back. Watch them for a couple of days and if the tips of the branches start to wilt, then you can trim them back somewhat.
