    Rose in a container

    Hello,
    I'm thinking about buying a rose and having it in a 30lt container I will use JI no3 soil with a mix ot farmyard manure. I have a nice sunny spot picked out.

    Do you guys have any suggestions for a nice easy to grow rose?

    1= I live in the north east Scotland
    2= I would like a repeat flowering rose
    3= a rose that ain't going to take that much looking after
    4= colour is more important than fragrance to me

    Suggestions greatly apperciated

    I too live in the NE of Scotland and I managed to kill my container planted Rose, the ones in the ground are fine, so it could be me rather than the conditions. I am however requiring scent rather than looks, but a trip Raemoir GC near Banchory might give you some inspiration(I shall be there myself later today for a cuppie and a scone lol).

        Evening all,
        so I'm back again with another question.....im thinking a planting another rose bush, this time in the ground but i have a question & also hoping you guys can help me out choosing a suitable rose.

        my question being can i plant a rose bush if i dig a hole in my lawn and plant it up against a fence? or will they only do well in a bed or border? I'm not wanting a climbing rose but one that will grow as a bush. my idea being i might eventually grow a row this way.

        my thought goes=
        i would like a orange or peach colour rose.
        peferabaly thornless (i have young children that enjoy to play in the garden)
        disease resistant (or low maintenance)
        i have a sunny garden but live in NE scotland so needs to be ok with our climate.
        repeat flowering(so it looks good all summer)

        am i asking too much?
        any help/suggestions will be appreciated

        Many thanks again
        Steve.

          David Austin Roses - Bare root roses, Container roses, English Roses, Climbers, Ramblers - Buy online... If you contact these people with the details of what you're looking for then they will recommend a suitable variety for your location. They're not the cheapest but are great quality and well grown plants.

            Just had a look for thornless roses and yes - they do have some. Also try this one: https://www.directgardening.com/384-...thornless-rose.
            I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!
