Default Moving roses to tubs

Hi,

Well I have finally bowed to the wisdom of SWMBO and agreed that in the
revamped front garden the roses that used to adorn the vanished border
don't fit. Not wishing to get rid of them entirely and with a back
garden in need of brightening (concrete paving slabs) I wondered about
moving them into tubs. I moved one to a new place in the front so I know
they can be moved and now would also be a good time.

So:
How big a tub for mature roses (well pruned back in anticipation)?

What mix do people reccomend to fill the tubs with?

I assume they'll need staking initially.

What to feed them with?

TIA
