Possibilities of pot roses

Week van de Potroos 2009 (Klik voor een grote weergave)

The use of the rose in rose beds, as a garden plant and as cut flowers is well known. Considerably less known is the use of the rose as a pot or tub plant on a balcony or terrace. Still, the right roses in the right pots give pretty amazing results. They are a feast for the eye throughout the season. If you consider the fact that a bunch of flowers is almost as expensive as a pot rose, the choice is easily made. Pot roses can very well overwinter out in the open, this in contrast to most of the tub plants.
The benefit for the rose growers is that their products are negotiable throughout the year. Benefit to the consumer is that during the summer he can see with his own eyes or smell with his own nose what he is buying. With the terrace and garden being a nice extension of the living room nowadays, the roses with their many kinds, colours and smells can become part of that.
So, many reasons and opportunities to give the pot rose all the attention it deserves.
