Hi All!
What soil mix works best to grow a rose in a half whiskey barrel? I've read a light soil is best, but I'm concerned about water retention if it's too light. What has worked for you?
A local nursery suggested Black Forest tree and shrub mix combined w/topsoil. Which I used last year to pot a rose. In hindsight, I think this is too heavy and should at least have used potting soil instead of top soil. The rose has only been in it a year and did grow well, so we'll see how this year goes.
Thanks!
