Paul2032 said: My main concern with roses in containers is if the root system isn't established and the soil falls away when I am planting.
That's what I worry about, and that's why I was concerned when I saw the pictures of all the roses with big roots exposed to the air. We always take care to keep soil around the roots while transplanting from nursery pots to the ground, so how is that different from roses taken from grower beds to the nursery potting area? Books and instructions warn against letting those feeder roots dry out, yet it appears that the roses at that nursery grow and thrive.
Thank you for answering my many questions. I've always been amazed at how well your roses grow.
