New Roses-- Pot Dilemma

I don't know much about my new roses which are: Cubana, Easter Basket, Rita Levi Montalcini, South Africa, and Sunshine Daydream.
It's so hard to tell with young plants how big they'll get so-- if you grow these, which would fit in pots?
They all seem to be pretty good bloomers so I'm enjoying having some of them outside the bay window!

I don't have any of those but I've grown just about every type of rose there is in a pot (from climbers and OGRs to micro minis) before with no problems. As long is the pot is the right size (and bigger is always better) they should do fine. If you're putting in something that will be tall I'd go for a wider rather than taller pot to make it less tippy. Put in some kind of support like a small trellis too.
