Gloire de Dijon
I understand that Gloire de Dijon will do well on a North facing wall.
Is it likely to do well in an 18" diameter by 18" deep pot against such a wall? Franz |

What about Maigold? Franz ------------------- I too would not grow any rose in a container unless it was the only option. I have Maigold both in the garden and potted [on concrete] against a wall. There is a difference and the rose against the wall has survived rather than flourished. Both flower fully from mid April to June and sporadically afterwards. It is a well worthwhile rose. There is a 'Hamlet' similarly potted that does seem to like the conditions better. The larger the container then the greater expectations. Best Wishes Brian. |

I will try Maigold, will feed it well and will just cross hands. The Gloire de Dijon I am putting in an open border with good soil against a 6 ft North facing stone wall. My existing roses (a higgledy piggledy mix of species of climbers, old shrub roses, hybrid teas, floribundas and patio roses growing in open soil) are doing better than they have ever done before. Lest urglers think I am bragging, they still leave a lot to be desired. {:-( Franz |
