Knockout rose in a container?
This later this summer I will be preparing some new planting beds that will
be ready for planting in the fall. In the mean time, I was given a Knockout
rose as a gift, but I don't have anywhere to plant it yet. I only have a
few spots that are full sun right now, and they are full. Can I plant this
rose into a container, grow it on my deck this summer, then trasplant it
this fall into the newly prepared bed?
Any tips for growing Knockouts in a container? Is an 18"x18"x18" container
large enough? What type of soil should I use?
If I use a product like MiracleGro with Moisture Control potting mix, do I
HAVE to use liquid ferts? Or can I still add in organic granular
fertilizers like Epsoma Rose-Tone?
any tips would be appreciated,
Matt
