dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated All your roses look fine, Ingrid, but I particularly like that picture of Cottage Rose. The contrast between the rose and surroundings and the various textures, colors, and sizes--wonderful picture. Kate

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated The only white Austin lists under the heading "containers" on its website is Winchester Cathedral. Nice pic of it growing in a container there also. I don't know anything about WC, but you might check it out.

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated Yes it is, thats another possible success. Jasmine I tend too leave mine alone until they begin to grow little leaves. We'll see what Carol does with hers.

hoovb zone 9 sunset 23Updated Happy to have been helpful. That particular rose was in the ground at least 10 years, so it is not a rapid process (here anyway). I've found Austins to be the quickest to go own root.

jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated Thanks, mustbnuts. Yes, it's that time of year to check the weather report daily, because it can go from being warm during the day to having a cold snap in a night. Last year I sadly lost my succulent collection. My lime tree suff...

teka2rjleffel(z10FL)We just closed on a house near Athens, GA. The best morning sun seems to be on the back of the house, but there are too many windows to do much there. I planned to put them along the fence but it is wooded all along there. We own tons...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated An unheated garage is good if it's insulated. If not it's just OK and still iffy. If you are putting it in the garage I would do as Mad suggests and put it in a bigger pot. That little pot will afford it NO insulation at all. You ...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated In zone 9 you shouldn't have to worry much. I'd put them in the warmest spot in your yard and they should be OK. Roses can take temps down to about 28 degrees without any damage.
