Red, I hate to tell you this, but Tamora was MISERABLE here. Multiflora does NOT like alkaline conditions.

That was why I was planning to grow it in a container. I can keep it in a container for good. Will a rose not go own root in a container?

Sure. why not? As long as the pot is a decent size and I know tamora is supposed to stay on the small size.

I went to a nursery out of town today and witnessed the most stunning specimens of Tamora. I have one growing in the ground right now; last year it flowered, but the flowers were rather small. However, the ones at the nursery (growing in the usual nursery five gallon containers) have large showy flowers coupled with the usual Tamora fragrance. This tells me that this plant can be grown successfully in a container; however, I never thought its flowers can get to four or five inches across.

Redsox, I have a Tamora tree rose in a 20" by 20" pot and it's doing great. Sure, a little touch of rust
and mildew here and there, but not much. It's flowers grow big for me, 4" wide. It's fragrance is
interesting. At some point, I'll post pics.

I'm in zone 10 at the CA coast.
