I have a PJPII that I absolutely ADORE (especially considering that white roses are my favorite flower).

I wanted to see how well I could care for/maintain this particular rose bush so initially I only purchased one. But now I'm sold and I'd like to get two more.

Here's the dilemma.

I can buy them bare root OR I could buy them in containers (shipped to me this fall for planting).

My original PJPII came bare root and did just fine.

Anyway, which would you go for? The bare root one OR the potted one? I'm not quite sure if there's a benefit to purchasing it one way or the other???
