    Default Rose help

    Does anyone know how a Hybrid Tea Rose would cope in a large container?
    I want to get 'simply the best' in memory of my Dane who died this year but I don't want to have to plant it out in the garden.
    I would have preferred to get a patio rose but can't find with a name and colour that is significant!
    Any ideas???

    Would a Patio rose called special friend be appropriate.

    I have a couple of HT roses in big tubs by the door, and they are now in their third year and doing very well. The tubs are about 2 foot diameter. The bottom third was dung, and the rest a loam-based compost. They flower profusely and seem very happy. Try it!
    There are neither rights nor wrongs in gardening. Only experiences.
