Can I keep rose bushes in flower pots only? ( I rent so I want to take them with me)?

I rent the house I currently live in (I am in college) and I seem to have to move a lot. I love flowers and gardening but I hate to plant them at the house and do a lot of work and just leave them when I have to move. Can I leave rose bushes in a flower pot...will they survive?

This site has all you need to know about container rose gardens.
Reply:I have kept roses in containers with reasonable success. Keep them well pruned and fed. Mine were really nice but I finally got lazy and put them in a flower bed.





Good luck
Reply:Yes, but it would take larger pots, as long as the roots have plenty of space they will survive.
Reply:You can keep roses in gro-bags (the kind one uses for growing tomatoes). Just keep fertilizing with bonemeal and they will be fine - provided the bags are deep enough for the roots.
