Patio roses.

I have never grown roses before.

My garden is low maintenance so my plants are all in pots & boxes.

I would really like to grow roses in pots next year.

Any help & advice most welcome.

Re: Patio roses.

Morning Carol. There are many lovely patio roses available.
Country Garden Roses have some very pretty ones, but so do many other places too.
These are smaller than the usual garden roses and are more suitable for tubs and will have less wind rock too.

The main thing to remember is, like any plants in tubs/pots is they are at our mercy in the way they that they can't spread their roots far to search for food and water, so you have to feed make sure you supply these a bit more than you would if planted in the garden soil.

Google Patio roses or look on the RHS website and you will find lots of info.
