Candy,
It's unlikely that your rose will root, but if you go to the menu item "Glossary" on the left and look under "cuttings", you can find some basic instructions for rooting roses from cuttings.

I am considering growing some roses in containers and was wondering if anyone has had experience doing so and if their roses did well? How often and what type of fertilizer do you use and what type of containers did you use?

Good morning Flower Fancier,
Yes, you can grow roses in containers successfully! I would recommend nothing smaller than a 5 gallon pot, but myself, I prefer oak barrels. I would also recommend putting them someplace where they get afternoon shade, if you do not want to spend a lot of time watering in the summer. Of course, depending on where your located, that may not mean much. I'm in metro-Phoenx, AZ and we have to water container roses daily, because of our extreme heat. I use Oscomote 15-15-15, a time released formular fertilizer on my potted roses. Not so likely to burn as some of the higher nitrogen fertilizers would in the summer. Also, put some mulch on top of the potting soil to help keep those roots cool!
Chat with you later...

Planing a rose too deep won't cause any problems. Most roses are really not happy in a pot and a clay pot as it draws out the moisture so that the rose roots are dried out and that is the reason your rose is not happy. Containers should have potting soil in them as this soil has a mixture which tends to hold the water and so doesn't dry out. I would replant it in a potting soil mix and then water it well every second day . If you haven't fertilized it then give the rose a handfull of any rose fertilizer and scatter it all around the base and water it in.

How should I take care of a rose in a container?

[From Roses: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia & Grower's Handbook, by Peter Beales, p. 424:] The nutritional requirements of roses growing in containers are the same as for those growing in open ground; remember, however, that nutrients leach from potted soil far more quickly than they do from natural soil, so more frequent applications of fertilizer are necessary. Liquid fertilizer can be applied when watering. |

I like to use Perlite but was told to use Dry Stall for horses more economical, has it ever been used. My potted roses are suffering probably cause been in the same 32"pot too long and retaining water so the branches are rotting..
