I have always been a "Container gardener" type of Rose gardener.
I've lived in apartments with balconies for most of my adult life.
However, now I live in a home with a yard, but still opted for planting
my Roses in containers. This year my 2 rose bushes - Firefighter and Queen Elizabeth - did not perform very well at all. The flowers on both plants were quite small and I don't know what would have caused that. The flowers were the size of a Floribunda, and certainly not the size of a Hybrid Tea or Grandiflora.
