It would be fine in a half wine barrel IMO. My minis would love the luxury ! It is a pretty good rose, I can't really knock it. Good Luck!

Thankyou lookin!
Now, I only hope that it will overwinter ok, if I put it in my shed. I'm going to try to create a red, white and blue display out of it. I might try some geranium rozannes around the perimeter, or maybe in separate pots placed around the barrel.

kentstar - I mostly grow big roses--particularly the shrubs since I am a no-sprayer. Anyway, I grow a lot of container plants -- even have some of my big roses in containers What are you going to put in the container for the rose to grow on? Thanks for answering - Barb

I bought an umbrella trellis from J&P's this spring. It's a 36 inch trellis, so is somewhat small but that's ok to start with.

delphiniums would look great kentstar, too hot here unless I force them but they stop people!!!
