Easy as One, Two, Three
The first tip for container rose gardening, even white rose gardening, is to plant the roses the early fall. This system can work for the winter months as well for roses that do not do as well in the colder weather. As stated earlier, the containers must be placed in a well lit area, such as by a window with direct sunlight, or on a deck or patio. However, unlike roses that are planted outside, container rose gardens must have some relief from the sun since the containers heat up much more quickly than the ground would outside, and can cause damage to the roses if there is not some relief in the afternoons.
