What size Rose for 11.5 gal pot?

I have 3 little pots that are 11.5 gal. My larger pots, 24 gal, were a little easier to find plants for. But I don't know how large a rose these little guys can handle. Any suggestions?

I'd say keep it small like a mini or miniflora. But in your zone some of them can even get pretty big. There are some micro minis that are adorable that do stay small plants though.

Thanks Seil. I think I will plant petunias in them...(That was a joke.) These pots were about $50 apiece so I don't want to pitch them, but I don't much like the mini's.

But thanks for answering. I have minis in them now. Oh well.

I have decided that Dwarf Encore Azaleas would be gorgeous in the pots. I already have 6 of these so I am familiar with which ones I like and which ones grow well for me.

Thanks again Seil,

andrea
