How to Plant Potted Roses It wasn't too long ago that no serious rosarian would even consider having a potted rose on their property except for, maybe, last minute emergencies where they had run out of space but couldn't resist buying just one more plant. Times have changed and potted roses have a place in the lives of condo and apartment dwellers, city slickers who live in areas where there isn't a tree in sight, and anyone who has a spot on their lawn or garden in need of the beauty that only a rose can deliver. Not all roses are good candidates for growing in pots. The following varieties have been found to do best. Feel free to try any variety that you want, even climbers, and see how they make out.

If you live in climate zone 6, or warmer, then hold off planting until autumn when the ravages of July and August are far behind. When you're ready to plant, choose an appropriate sized container with drainage holes. Make sure that the container has enough room for your plant to grow without having to transplant frequently. Fill the container with garden soil that has some compost or organic fertilizer mixed in. Dig a hole that's a bit bigger than the root ball, knock the rose loose from its shipping container, and plant it. Dig a shallow trench or moat around the base of the plant to hold water, and water well. Potted roses are susceptible to the same diseases as garden roses are, and they require feeding, pruning and all of the other rose care basics. Potted roses aren't less work or responsibility for you, they are simply more space-saving than a regular rose garden is. Don't treat your roses as if they were ordinary potted plants or you will lose them. People are constantly asking if they can grow potted plants indoors. The answer is: "maybe, but it's a risky proposition". That's because roses need high humidity and a lot of direct sunlight. High humidity conditions do not usually exist inside of most airconditioned homes these days. However, if you live in a hot, steamy area, and you don't have air conditioning, then you can probably get away with it as long as you pick a sunny spot. Of all the rose varieties that are likely to survive indoors, miniature roses are your best bet. Miniature roses are actual roses which have been bred to grow into small and compact plants with equally small flowers. They do very well in pots and are quite beautiful.
