Any recommendations for a climbing rose for a container?

[Leavesandthings]

Hi,
It's that exciting time when you can begin to plan stuff in the garden 😃
I was wondering if anyone has a recommended climbing rose for growing in a pot?
It would be west facing on a warm wall, and I'm looking for fragrance and repeat flowering.
I already have a peach one on the other side, so something that would look nice with peach would be great.

Thanks for any ideas!

Get yourself on the David Austin website and get filtering. It's very well set up compared to a lot where the filters are rubbish.

I have Zephirine Drouhin doing nicely in a deep container growing up trellis surrounding my front gate. It’s beautiful and thornless too.

Can anyone share how they successfully grow their roses in pots please? I’ve got three DA roses for containers that I need to try planting out as they have not looked as good as when they first arrived.

@Prettyflowerstoo I think it depends on the size of your container. My roses are in deep containers, about 3ft 6 inches high as roots need room.

Im not very knowledgeable at all about gardening but I love the look of your roses @Sweetiedarling7 . How big and deep does a container have to be to grow roses properly up a wall?

@Pineneedlesincarpet as big as you can possibly fit and afford but I would say something which holds about 80l compost. A half barrel or a tall and reasonably wide planter. You really need to keep on top of watering in the summer too and I feed them in spring.

Have a look at gardener Ben on Instagram, he can advise.

I have a rose doing well in one of these which is slightly smaller if space is an issue.

Thank you so much. Will have a look. Ive always longed for roses up the wall of the house.

That's a beautiful one!

Also good to get the tips on the size of container, i'd been hoping to fit in something like 45x45cm, but I will invest in bigger.

Thank you for the ideas ☺️

Thank you most helpful. I checked roots when transferring to a bigger pot and thought it didn’t need moving yet. How often do you refresh the compost? Sorry to ask yet another question.

I buy compost which is meant for longterm mature plants such as John Innes no 3 and then put a mulch on top plus feed in spring.
Also, David Austin sells mycorrhizal fungi to sprinkle in when planting your roses and this helps roots.

Strawberry Hill would be perfect. It doesn’t grow too big so it’s well suited for a pot.
