Growing Roses in Containers
Select large terracotta pots or deep half barrels for soil volume and root stability.
Place the pot onto feet and add a drainage layer of 1" depth of pea-shingle at the bottom with 1" layer of Cotton Wool on top to prevent the compost mixture from mixing with the pea-shingle, so that the plants cannot drown or be continuosly waterlogged. Pot up in November with bare root plants using 4 parts by volume of John Innes No 3 with 1 part of either Multi-Purpose Compost or 1 of cow manure.
The plant should receive sunshine for at least half the day, with the pot being in shade. Top-dress with granular rose fertiliser in the Spring; avoid feeding after August and replace the compost every second year.
Grow the following patio and miniature roses in 14 inch deep pots and ground cover, half-standards or climbing roses in minimum of 18 inch deep pots:-

ROSE BED PICTURES
Why do so few Rose Plant nurseries who supply directly to garden owners in the UK and so few garden owners in the UK donate the use of their Rose Plant photos of the flower, foliage, form or seed to this website? Where else can you compare plants by flower colour, foliage colour, form or seed/fruit shape/colour with their soil type, soil moisture, sun aspect and height? . |
