Sue ...

The feeder roots on a rose are located near the top of the root mass and they need to spread out. If they do not have room to spread beyond the container, the plant will become root bound in very quickly and will not thrive. The roots at the bottom are only anchor roots.

The soil in the container should be firm enough so that water does not drain into the container.
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
