What I can tell you is that my two year old bush, in the ground, is about 4 to 5 feet tall, so I'd sure put it in a large pot. This rose and its white sport, FULL SAIL, are two of the very best roses in my garden. Their disease resistance is amazing, the foilage is bright green, and the roses' fragrance is not to be believed. Form is lovely, and they are held on two to three foot stems (I do disbud all but the terminal bud as soon as they appear, for single stemmed beauties). I'd sure try this one in a large pot, because you should grow it one way or the other!

My bush is only in its second full year of growth, and thus is just established itself. It is full of large buds, and I expect them to open in the next week or so. This is a superior rose. The foilage is bright green, and the rose is extremely disease resistant, despite being exposed to rust and mildew from neighbors, it just shrugged it off. The fragrance is unbelievable, and the flowers are held on two foot stems. It is a quick repeat bloomer as well. This is the BEST fragrant white rose I know. Everything I say here applies equally to "New Zealand", the rose that Full Sail is a sport of. Now that I've got them, they'll be permanent fixtures in any rose garden I have. You couldn't ask for more from a rose! I live in the Bay Area, California, FYI.
