I have a standard in a pot, I had another in the ground. The one in the ground did better even though it suffered a dead branch over winter. I bought it from David Austin and they replaced it free of charge. The new one (potted) is very slow, no roses yet.

In pots there is less root anchoring, maybe thats why my potted one is slow. Image is the planted rose.
