Growing Joseph's Coat Rose in Containers: Why It's Not a Hanging Rose and Pot Size Tips

Joseph's Coat has thick, stiff canes—unsuitable for hanging. For a hanging rose, choose a floribunda and weight new canes with small soil bags to encourage draping.

Container Size

Minimum 18 inches deep; roots hate heat. Half whisky barrels (2.5 ft wide, 2 ft deep) are ideal, allowing underplanting.
