What Size Pot?

What size pot would you put the following in?

White Cecile Brunner (loved Jeri's)
Little White Pet
Too Cute (Kim's rose)

I have some big black growers pots I could use and then make a wooden box to put the pot in or just buy them some type of toddler safe pot (as much as I want a glazed ceramic to really show case them in reality is I don't want to worry too much about a small child crashing a toy in to them)

If they perform there as I've seen here and up north, White Pet and White Cecile Brunner should be in at least seven gallon cans. Too Cute will eventually need a fifteen gallon. Kim

How have I missed out on Too Cute? What a little beauty.

Thank you! I think so, but I'm prejudiced. If it's happy, it won't remain "little". Did you see Cass' photos of it on HMF? Kim

I'd go for really big ones. I'll send you a pix of the ones I have Roseville Noisette in.

Yes, Kim, I checked it out on HMF. Lovely little blooms. It's not listed available anywhere on the east coast, unfortunately.

Kim,

I saw Cass's photo on HMF and realized that I should probably put her in the ground. Some how I was thinking she stayed smaller and I would love to put a couple of pots on wheels so I can keep some almost ever blooming little white sprays of roses on the patios where they are enjoyed constantly. Too Cute with a nice scent would be perfect for one spot...but I think she will get bigger than a pot can keep her happy in. I have a few of those big nursery pots that hold a 2 cu sack of potting soil. Not really pretty but I can build a box.

There are some things I keep in a pot TEMPORARILY. Then put them into the ground as a substantial plant, when they outgrow their temporary home.

I really need to move that White Cecile Brunner out of her pot. She's definitely outgrown it.

Papa Hemeray can inherit it.

I think Too Cute will find herself occupying the spot Lady Meggenich is right now. It the good Lady only wants to be a jolly green giant she will be doing it behind a shed
