Eden in a pot? for how long?

8 years ago

In an effort to cheer me up, my husband went and bought a lovely potted Eden. No matter as we do not have the time or space for another rose. I dont think this is the time of year to move the already planted roses around to make space.

I know a climber is the last thing that should be grown in a pot, but conceivably, how long could it last in one? I have quite a big pot available, maybe 12 gallons, that I could use until I make another rose bed. Would it be fine until next spring? Or should I move something to make space? If so, when?

Thanks in advance.

I grew Blaze in a pot for 5 years. It did great. It's now in the ground and still doing great. If the pot is large enough I wouldn't worry about it. If the rose starts to climb in the pot use takes or a small trellis in the pot to tie it up to. I think it should be very happy.

Yup, what Seil said, lol. I even had a New Dawn *!!!!!!!!!* in a pot for several years. I'm not saying it thrived, but it did bloom and grow (huge!). I think it ended up in a 15 gallon pot before it finally made it into the ground, and never missed a beat.

I have both Eden and White Eden in pots planted in the ground. They are doing well, going into their second year and have bloomed better than the ones in the ground without a pot. I think it might deter the voles for a longer period of time. Not sure what the deal is,but I saw one here a few years ago growing wildly beautiful in a pot, in the ground and chose to try it. So far, so good, but less than two years. Incidentally, for those who like Eden, White Eden is a must-have to combine with it. It blooms more frequently and is a gorgeous white.

It is very beautiful and it kinda reminds me of striatum? I have one that I purchased on Ebay as 'Old Timey Orange' and the seller said that it has been it in his family for a long time. I have mine in the front window and it's sending up two scapes at the moment. I only purchased one bulb and it's got a whole potful of babies next to the mother bulb. Also, it seems to bloom several times a year :-))))

I planted a "slow growing" 'conversation piece' azalea last year next to a gardenia. It grew so fast that it almost grew up and over the gardenia, so I moved it to a new spot this winter where it could grow. It was a 1 gallon specimen when planted. How big of a pot? I usually buy plants that are at least in 1 gallon pots, but you could raise the azalea in a container until it gets a little bigger. I guess it is worth a try. What have you got to lose? (besides a few dollars)

I have to agree with mad and hoovb, that's a very tiny plant to try and winter over in zone 5. It's too small to plant out and even wintering it in a pot would be iffy. And don't try to bring it inside. While I have heard of people doing it I've never successfully kept a rose inside the house over an entire winter. Household climates are rarely conducive to happy healthy rose growth. I'd either wait until next spring or order something from a nursery for spring delivery. Besides, this is a newer variety and will probably be available locally next spring.

I grew Eden in a pot for two years before actually getting it in the ground. It has yet to bloom, but it's now quadrupled in size after planting. It didn't seem to mind being in the pot until now and it's super happy at the moment (albeit bloomless).

You have a sweet husband! :-) I had an Eden in a pot for 3+? years, then I planted it in the ground, I didn't bury the grafts, it was gone after the first winter. Last week I just picked up another Eden. :-)

I really miss my Eden Rose, it was always covered with blooms. It was too big for me to take when I moved.

Eden is not very cold hardy as far as I know. Its always been touted as a good rose for the south. I would keep it in a pot and over winter it somewhere warm then plant it next spring.
