    That would be a tight space for roses. You may be able to get away with it if you use a climbing rose on a trellis.

    Use wild roses there tiny, like 6-8 in tops but there beautiful in abundance. Just keep them in good soil cause they eat nutrients like crazy. Other than that use a spinning trellis which will give roses the spin upward to the sun!

    Any of the knock out varities that are kept under control will work. Prune as required and although you may loose some blooms, knock out bloom contineously. Since you width is limited, be sure their soil depth is deeper than normal so that they may establish a good root system.

    If you look at the growth habits of some miniature roses, the 8 inches might work. Look for short and compact growth habits. Some of them are nicely fragrant too. Again, do your homework on them for such limited room before you buy.

    Hello Jennine. I am in zone 5. However I believe any of the Dr. Griffith Buck roses would do just fine. Many of the floribunda roses or grandiflora roses seem to do better in colder climates than the hybrid tea roses. I love Distant Drums and she is a Buck rosebush. Check also with a local rose society to see what they recommend. You can locate one through the American Rose Society website at http://www.ars.org. Feel free to visit my website as well.

    Sounds like transplant shock but I would also look into phosphorus problems. Maybe make sure your transplant medium has enough phosphorus in it to sustain the grown system. Otherwise you get this really cool reddish tinge around them. No harm. I foul just a little slower grower

    Parade roses are a kind of miniature rose. It will be small and will have small blossoms compared to a full size rose.

    Give neem oil a try. It is a good, organic pesticide and fungicide that might help. Here is more information:

    For the rose bushes that come in pots and are growing and blooming, usually the end of May is okay, but check your location for the last hard frost date in your area. If a hard frost coming once it's been planted, wrap a bath towel around the bush, then put a trashbag over the entire thing. The bath towel provides some warm insulation and the plastic bag keeps the towel from getting wet. Place some large stones over the edges of the plastic bag on the ground to hold the bag in place. Be sure to remove it the next morning.
