I assume that Weluvroses comments related to the relative merits of container vs. in-ground planting was a reference to my post above. The purpose of my post was to assure Hiyamakki that he need not fear planting bareroot roses. In his subsequent post he recognized this. As to Weluvroses comments, I don't disagree that in-ground planting is superior to container planting. Since I live on a lava field in Hawaii in-ground planting is not feasible. It should be noted that Weluvroses provides no evidence that one method of planting is superior to the other. While I believe in-ground planting is preferable, I don't have any evidence either.
