Grow Roses in Containers

Can you grow roses in containers? When I sell roses in pots, my customers often ask advice about continuing to grow their roses in containers. Maybe they don't have a place in the garden right away, or live in an apartment and want to grow on a deck or balcony. No problem. Roses are well suited for growing in containers, so long as you manage the size of the pot to meet the needs of your plant. More soil volume mean that you'll be able to provide a more stable soil temperature and a steady supply of water and fertilizer to the roots. I'll also discuss siting the rose and overwinter care.

Jason - I’ve researched the heck out of available content (podcasts, KZbin Channels, etc.) for rose channels, and yours is truly the best. I love that you alternate practical advice with historical references, imagery of different rose types, etc. You’re a great teacher and I hope you will keep it up!

Hey I'm growing several in 5 gallon pots and they are growing GREAT...with pots you have the added advantage of being able to move the pot around to several different locations when the summer sun gets too intense....in in TN and have 5 in pots right now almost ready to bloom....

I've just been given a climbing rose plant here in England, UK called 'Pauls scarlet climber' following the death of my brother Paul. Therefore I am really keen to care and nurture it. This video was really useful and informative without being over the top. I am going to plant it into a large container and can't wait to see it (hopefully) thrive. Thank you

At least four of my five in-ground roses have come down with crown gall. ☹️ I’ve been digging them up, throwing them out, and removing as much of the surrounding soil as possible to spread around monocots that are impervious to crown gall, mainly yuccas and agaves where I am. I will replace the missing soil with native soil, but apparently the crown gall bacteria can survive for years and I doubt I’ll be able to remove it all. So…looking into growing roses in pots! Glad that several commenters have had success with it.

WE got into growing roses in a big way while still in the US. WE had a lucky encounter one Saturday am with a Rosarian volunteer, a member of the the Rosarian Society sitting at a table at a nursery to give advice, such a happy day that turned out to be....the Rosarian Society is a great org for hobbyists. He gave us solid advice on which variety of the different colors grew best in Houston, TX and how to grow them in huge planter boxes. Now living outside the US I have roses I have had in pots 10 yrs....we spray insecticide, fertilize regularly, we deadhead and I have roses to cut for indoors all year. I am in the tropics but this can be done anyplace that does not freeze. This area used to have rose farms with cut roses for export to the USA, while the last nurseries were still here we bought their varieties so our roses are well suited to this climate and soil...we were assured by their commercial use. I have not yet had to root prune them....mine are now in 18in diameter 30 inch tall pots. THis area is volcanic fast draining soil we just added leaf mulch...no need to buy anything in this coffee growing region. We do a bit of top dressing each year.SUmmer sun we do water daily. I also have a magnolia tree that age in a pot a bit larger. I do root prune and repot same size every third year. It blooms well several times a year. I also grow bamboo as a potted wall for privacy all along a large upstairs terrace. These do,have to be repottted yearly and separated.

Yay Jason! I'm re-visiting this video and others you've gifted upon the world. This year I've experimented w keeping a Zone 6 rose (I'm 5), and a few others, in the cold greenhouse we built - I'm too new to growing roses with intention to really know whether my zone 6 rose will make it . The soil is frozen hard - I've watered during the warmest period a month ago but its been hovering within 20 of zero for a while. I'll receive SO many roses come spring that will stay in containers for at least a while because of your excellent advice. If only because designing a garden is complex - and arranging pots helps to envision the world that we are creating. Warmest regards Jennie

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Good topic to cover. Containers certainly can increase one’s options, but in the end the 🌹 is always right. I put a Violet’s Pride tea rose tree in a large pot on our patio as a focal point. But the rose was unhappy🥀 for a couple of reasons. ( 1.)The patio’s microclime was much too hot a due south exposure with almost full sun-it mimics growing zone 9 or 10. (2.) Bugs made a beeline for the rose. Three different pests converged at once: aphids, sawfly and some kind of caterpillar 🐛. The rose was suffering so much I moved it out of its heavy pot and planted it in a shadier spot by some rhododendrons. It’s much happier now!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

For sure - my 'Paul Neyron' was never ever happy in a pot, but does great in the garden. Maybe I could force the issue with a larger pot or better location (or more regular watering, if I'm being honest) but it pays to listen to your plants.

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

It’s great your Paul Neyron is happy in your garden. Does it have a great fragrance? It looks the sort of rose that might. You probably don’t want to have to resort to a forklift to move your container plants around. One of the benefits of container planting is portability. 🌱

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It does have a wonderful scent, and the first blooms each season are ridiculously large, round, and quite easily mistaken for peonies. Very vertical in growth habit, and hates to dry out.

[@proletariatsgarden]

Thanks for the video! Very accurate pros and cons of roses in containers. I have so many roses in containers, and yes, repotting them through the years is driving me a little bit nuts. And as they grow bigger, I either have to get rid of some of them, to give them to my friends, or I have to downsize them by cutting and separating them. Of course I would like to try growing them in the ground, so I can try many climbing varieties, and they thrive beautifully, but the reality is that living in a small flat in a crowded city doesn’t give me the option to own a garden. 😂 Hope one day I can move to a more spatial rural area.

[@vintagelady1]

This was a really helpful video & I love that you are still keeping up with answering questions even tho the original date on this is 4 years ago---that's dedication! The one option you didn't cover was when the rose has outgrown the pot (roots poking thru the bottom holes!) but I don't want to up-pot to a larger size. There is a limit to how large a pot I can manage, not having heavy moving equipment & being a senior lady alone. My thought is to pull the rose out, do some root pruning, replace the soil with fresh, & back into the same pot. It seems the winter dormancy would be the correct timimg for this. Would this be the right procedure, or is root pruning going to send the rose into a death spiral? I do have mainly own-root roses (unless a variety is only sold grafted). Again, thanks much for so much helpful rose advise on your channel.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks - that sounds about right for a rose that's getting overgrown in the pot and if you can't upgrade the pot size (or graduate to the garden).

[@janisporto]

Love your videos. I started out growing several new, small hybrid teas in large 20-25 gallon root pouch or smart pots, thinking they would be getting pretty big and that they needed large pots, eventually. Also, there is a lot of different information online, saying to use at least 15 gallon pots for hybrids or floribundas, etc. Do you think it is better to start off with small rose plants in small pots and transfer them every year to larger pots? Is there an advantage to this? I am noticing they are producing more, but blooms are smaller. I like your idea in the video..Also, some are foruniana root , and some info states they hate being repotted or disturbed, so I did not want to keep repotting. Thaks for all your info.

[@mirunaparvulescu1082]

Hello Jason, I hope you are well. First, allow me to say I am a fan of yours from the Netherlands. As a confession, you were my inspiration when I decided last year to grow roses in containers on my (East facing) balcony. You make growing roses in pots sound so doable, I just got encouraged by your passionate though very tolerant - towards- mistakes attitude;) I started with two small floribundas in 5 gallon container. I got them in autumn, I saw them survive the (mild) Dutch winter, I gave them some fertilizer in spring (one dose slow release - according to the manufacturer’s indications). They got aphides - no lady bugs on the 12th floor, so I sprayed them…. they bloomed but they seem to have a decline. I am not sure if my watering schedule and quantities are in order. I know, you are just saying in this video there are a lot of factors to take into account when it comes to watering roses in pots. And I know you are a busy man, with an avalanche of messages awaiting answers, but…here I come with: how much water and how often for my small floribundas in 19- 20 l container capacity, filled with rose potting soil (from gardening center). I do 1,5 L on average, in spring once every week or so and twice per week in summer. I stick fingers with obstinence in the soil;) I might just not have the green one though. I always hope I am on time for a new watering. There are yellow leaves on both and I do fear not to overwater. And with one rose I see that the water starts to leak (it is 1,5 L) fast from the bottom of the container. So, please, if you get to read all the above and find the time, help me out with figuring out what is wrong. Many thanks and a lot of admiration for your work! Miruna

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

So much depends on the plants, the site, the soil and even the kind of pot that it would be meaningless for me to say an amount of water and a frequency. It's a bit like asking how much fuel to put in your car - it depends on everything from vehicle to road conditions, distance and driving habits - but most people just fill it when they see the car needs more gas in the tank. While once a week (2x in summer) seems a reasonable starting point, you'll have to judge in part with how the plants are performing. Yellow leaves down low and in the center of the shrub can be a reaction to underwatering/moisture stress. When you water, be sure to water thoroughly. Sometimes a dryish soil will repel water for a bit, so water running quickly out the drain holes could also mean that the soil isn't accepting water quickly enough. Breaking it up into 3-4 smaller servings of water with a few minutes between applications can give the soil time to accept the water.

[@mirunaparvulescu1082]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm He answered!!!🤗Thank you so much, Jason, for your reply. This kind of gesture/attitude means a lot to me and, I am sure, to the community you gathered on your channel. And, of course, your comments make a lot of sence; I find some reassurence and sort of relief in that watering frequence is Okish;) I just got spooked by “10 L per watering for potted roses; water every day in summer, even twice per day; the bigger the pot, the less frequent watering becomes” and I could not come to terms with this “flooding”/ contradictions - less frequent, yet twice per day- but also with the yellow leaves starting to show on my roses. I will keep trying (since you got me started;) and hopefully they’ll do better. Once again, a lot of appreciation for your work, spirit and attitude. I’ll be watching!;) Miruna
