Not a rose for a pot also put plenty of manure in the planting hole but before putting the rosé in put a thin layer of soil back so the rose roots don't get scorched by the manure.i have had my rambler for a few years now and always puts a good show on . I will try and send a picture of it
I've been given a rambling rector but my house is rented, so I'd like it to be removable in a couple of years. Could I pot it and let it grow over a trellis? Any hints/tips?
You might as well hope to keep Godzilla in a pot. It will have to be a very big pot to stop it blowing over when the rose begins to grow. This little beauty can put on 15 feet a year once it finds its feet. You would have to keep cutting it back in the certain knowledge that it was very unhappy to be potted up, just desperate to be let loose on a handy tree and that the pot was a very temporary measure.
I have just been looking at getting a Kiftsgate and thought better of it having read soem horror stories. If I let that loose in my garden it could be down the road in a few years. I am now thinking of a "Rambling Rector instead. My garden needs a quick fix climbing solution. I have two Clematis montana ready to take off in the spring.
The best site I have found for looking at roses is Peter Beales www.classicroses.co.uk/ The level of information they put out on their site and the flexibility of their options for looking at the feature of roses are excellent.
Rambling Rector is nearly as vigourous as Kiftsgate Iamweedy ..... There are others that are more manageable. David Austin website also gives good details If you want another site to help you with your research.

Rambling Rector is a very thorny chap. Be sure to put him well away from gates and paths. As I found to my cost.

Never mind Annie, here is a Google one.
annie8, you click on the oak tree in the bar above your post and it should tell you what to do. However each stage takes a little time.

Thanks for that, Waterbutts - I suspected as much!
