Roses, including climbers, grow well in containers, but it is essential that the container is large enough and that you feed and water your roses consistently.

Small roses such as 'Gruss an Aachen', are perfect for container roses.

Container gardening roses, growing roses in pots, is a great way to make your backyard patios, decks and pool areas very beautiful.



You should not plant a rose in a pot smaller than 20 inches (50cm) in diameter and 16 inches (40cm)deep. Make sure there is a hole, or holes in the bottom.

Cover the bottom with a piece of window screen mesh, or use a couple of paper towels, then fill the potpartially with a good quality potting soil for roses. Position the rose in the container, making surethat the rose is level and that the bud union is correctly placed, by measuring it against a straightstick placed across the top of the pot.

Water the soil thoroughly to remove any possible air holes. Water the first time when the pot is half-filled and water again when its completely full.

When container gardening roses, it's important to water your potted roses every day, and to use a watersoluble fertilizer once a week.
