Cascading Roses for a large Window Flower Box

Hello to all. I am new to the site and looking for some expertise as it relates to roses that could be used in large flower boxes. I have two of them which are 10 ft by 2 ft in height.

Are there any repeat bloomers that cascade?

Miniatures would suffice but a full size roase is preferable. Thanks in advance everyone.

Red Cascade.

'Sweet Chariot' has a trailing habit and it repeats very well. It is very winter hardy, which might be more of an issue in window boxes than in the ground.

Is this a real window box, hanging below a window or is it on the ground? If it's hanging I think you'd have to stay with minis, and small ones at that. If it's on the ground a full size rose should be OK. But even then I think you'd have to keep it on the small side because of the size of the box. The problem is knowing how big something is going to get in your climate. You should probably check with a local rose society to see what they would suggest for your area.
