Water every day in warm weather. If your ground is not ready for them we suggest you pot them into larger pots. You may pot your own-root roses into large pots if you wish as long as the pot is large enough to accommodate the size of the plant. Smaller sized roses can live indefinitely in the appropriate sized pot. They must be watered every day and given winter protection where winters are cold.
Roses combine very well with other plants.
Lavender, cat mint, poppies, delphiniums, ladies mantle, pansies and fox glove to name a few have all done very well for Louise. Bulbs that have to be removed or replanted every year are not suggested. Planting on the south side of a white house in warm climates may create a overheated situation. If you are planting a climber next to the house, keep in mind how you want to handle your rose when repainting your house. I live in a very tropical climate.
