Have I bought the wrong size pots for my roses?
Hi all,
I've purchased two DA Roald Dahl bare root roses and planted them in ehlo containers D42 x H56cm and 26cm at the bottom.
After spending far too much time trawling the internet, I'm now really worried the pots are too small and I'll need to buy new ones (which will be so much more expensive).
Are they too small? If so, can you recommend any alternative roses which would work? Ideally peach/apricot coloured? They're on either side of my front door, which is south facing.
Thank you!

42cm is the diameter at the top of the planter and 26cm at the bottom the volume is about 45l. @debs64 your roses look beautiful! What have you got underplanting them? What is the height of your barrels?
