These varieties are small shrubs ideal for container growing.
PLANTING:Â Roses grow deep roots, therefore the taller the pot the better, we recommend knee height as the minimum. Make sure to use a soil-based (loam compost) such as John Innes No.2 . Crocks or stones can be used near the bottom, to ensure good drainage. Also keep container roses well-watered during dry spells, especially during their first year, obviously the bigger the pot the less water they will need.
