Transporting Plants for 10 hours in enclosed box ?
 
In a few weeks , I will be traveling from Fla to NC, a 9 hour trip. I
pull a trailer, and pack many things in large, enclosed plastic bins.

I want to carry several small Azalea plants in 3 gal containers, as well as
several small rose bushes. Because I travel at 70 mph for 9 hours, the wind
would destroy these plants before I got there.

Will these plants survive 9 hours in a completely enclosed container ? I
would water them well before leaving, and take them out as soon as I got
there.

Comments Please ??

Thank you very much.

Nursery plants are shipped across North America for days like that and
survive so they can be sold.
