Choosing Rose ContainersContainers are available in many materials and sizes. Consider color and style, but it's even more important that it's the right size for the rose growing in it. No matter what container you choose, it must have adequate drainage. Water must be able to move through the potting
soil and out the bottom of the container.
Soggy soil without drainage will kill roses in a matter of days. If a container doesn't have a hole, you can drill drainage holes in plastic, resin or wood containers before planting. 3 holes are best. If you plan to set a rose in a container into another, just be sure to set the inner pot on bricks, wood blocks, or a layer
of gravel to keep the pot above any water that accumulates. You must empty water from the outer container if
it collects.
Tips For Growing Roses In A ContainerUse wide containers for growing roses, because their roots spread out more than they go down. The half wiskey barrel size is about as small as you want to go for a hybrid tea rose, because its width is good.
Prevent the soil in rose containers from getting too warm, by choosing light colored containers, or by painting the container a light color. Choosing a quality rose planting mix is critical to growing healthy roses. Good potting soil for roses, such as Miracle Grow
Potting Soil For Roses, keep roses better hydrated and fed.
Great Container Roses To Use
Many roses, except large climbers and ramblers, will work in a spacious wide planter. Try small climbers on a trellis inserted into the container, for a privacy screen. Miniature roses, of course, are perfect. And nearly any small shrub rose will be great.
Container Roses Winter ProtectionWhen growing roses in containers in cold climates Zones 6 and colder, you'll need to plan your rose container plantings in such a way that you can bring the containers into a cool, non-freezing indoor space to overwinter the plants. Otherwise, they'll freeze solid and die over the winter.
