I see that this picture answers the question I asked about container growing. Yours has longer canes than either of mine do. I’m hoping they will not outgrow their containers. Those same hanging containers held my Cream Verandas for several years no problem, until I went out of town and my boys didn’t water them during a heatwave. Do you think these will be comparable in size to Cream Veranda? My Cream Verandas were on their own roots, and I’m inexperienced with multiflora rootstock. Thanks. Lisa

Hi Lisa,
HMF displays its height as 20" so I think it can be in a container. I don't have Cream Veranda so I'm not sure. However, based on HMF they both seem like compact roses.

Thanks for your quick reply, Helen. That’s what I wanted to hear. It seemed comparable to Cream Veranda size-wise. I just wasn’t sure if the multiflora rootstock would affect Pompon Flower Circus’ mature size. I really know nothing about rootstock, except for Dr. Huey. I usually buy roses on their own roots, unless I have no other choice,( or I find a great deal on a rose on Dr. Huey locally.). Thanks again, and I’ve really enjoyed your pictures. Lisa

What a beautiful picture of a beautiful rose, Helen! I got two of them from Palatine this past November. Are you growing yours in a container, or the ground? Do you think it’s suitable for container growing, long term in So CA? All your photos are gorgeous, as usual. Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I think it should be fine in a container. However, I will plant mine in the ground once I find a spot for it. This is a precious rose so it's less risky to keep it in the ground instead of in a pot. Also, roses look best when they are in the ground.

Holy Moly Ben, what a lot of buds and blooms! I have one in my pot ghetto that I keep thinking I should find a spot for. I hear nothing but good things about Soul Sister. It seems like it might stay a nice, well behaved size. I really dislike finding that a rose advertised as “compact” turns into a giant monster of a thing once let loose. Great picture(s) of Soul Sister, Ben. She’s clearly very happy under your care. Lisa

Hi Lisa!!! I think Soul Sister will do very well for you, it seems to have no trouble with hot weather, and is easily my most easy care apricot. It does indeed grow very compact , dense and well behaved, a stark contrast than some of the sprawling Kordes monsters!
