Selection
of Pots/Containers:
1- First
of all choose an appropriately sized container. Miniature roses thrive in a
12-inch (30.5-cm) container, while floribundas and hybrid tea roses need 15
inches (38 cm). Larger hybrids and tree roses need to be in containers
measuring 18 inches (45.7 cm) or larger.
2- If
you plan on moving your rose around then light weight containers will be the
best choice. A container made of plastic will probably be the easiest to
re-position.
3- Choose
a light coloured container, since dark colours heat up faster and dry out the
soil.
4- Select
a pot that provides good drainage. Plastic and clay pots with holes at the
bottom offer better drainage than containers without holes.
