Most of the English Roses can be grown in large pots and containers. Their graceful, slightly arching, bushy habits mean that they are ideally suited to being grown in this way. Place near to the house where their fragrant blooms and repeat-flowering can best be appreciated.
Use as large a pot as possible - 12-15 gallons or half a barrel. Water regularly. The following suggestions are suitable, or try any of the shorter varieties.
