I've decided to get Sherry Parks Sunrise instead of Cream Veranda. They're the same size, but the former appeals to me more.
I'm really happy about my decision to buy a couple of these (Angel Veranda and Sherry Parks Sunrise) specifically to grow in containers. For several years I had a pretty row of small roses in containers along one side of my driveway. The roses looked quite happy, but I always felt guilty about keeping them in pots. I was so proud of myself a couple of years ago when I planted all but a few of them into the ground.
It was a bad decision. The ones that I had left in their containers continued to thrive, but almost all of the others either declined drastically or died because they couldn't compete with the larger plants for light and moisture. Now I'll repeat the procedure in reverse. I'm going to dig up the survivors and put them back in containers. I always add low-growing annuals to the pots. They're thirstier than roses and they remind me to water the containers frequently.
