    The larger the better with the correct soil well fed and watered properly and it will do well. I have this rose in a raised planter and it’s a beauty. If you use the search button to research  roses in pots you will find lots of excellent advice. Good luck

    I use pots 60cms tall for roses filled with John Innes no 3 mixed with general purpose compost and a bit of well rotted manure if I have it. I sometimes use some garden soil with the mix. Top it with compost which helps prevent weeds. Then you can change the top few inches of compost for new compost every year.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
