Potted roses
Hey all,
We moved to Cary and I brought my roses with us. I had them in small gallon pots over the winter thinking when we moved out of my mother-in-laws it would be into a house. Jokes on me as we have leased a condo near 64/US1. I have planted them into large pots to sit on our patio, problems a 1- limited sun in morning and afternoon 2- how much water do they need being in pots instead of the ground? Any help with this would be great. I transplanted them using 3 parts potting soil, 2 parts of the soil that came with them from our old house, and 1 part cow manure 5-5-5. I did place drainage rocks in the bottom of the pots. Thanks, Dennis Brown |

Potted roses
For a rose in the ground, Witherspoon Rose Culture recommends 5
gallons/week. I would expect that a rose in a pot would require at least that much if it got lots of sun (heat on the roots). With limited sun, you can probably get by with 4-5 gallons/week. You may call Witherspoon's directly; I've always found their advice helpful. http://www.witherspoonrose.com/ BTW, a stop out there this week should be awesome! This is the prime week of the year for roses in the Triangle. Witherspoon's has over 600 roses planted in formal gardens and welcomes visitors. Doc Muhlbaier "Dennis Brown" wrote in message . ..
