Growing Roses In Pots or Containers
Roses can be easily grown in Pots or containers.Rose plants love to be fertilized only then will the plant bloom profusely.Rose Plants prefer soils which are rich with humus and organic matter.
Roses are used to make jams,jellies and conserves.Rose petals are used in salads and to decorate foods. Roses are diffused and distilled to make essential oils,perfumes and rose water.Rose Hips are used in Beauty products.
This is what i did to prepare the Pot or container to grow my rose plants,I Made a hole in the bottom of the Pot or Container so that there is no water logging and so that the soil drains well.Then lined the base with coconut husks or or small pieces of bricks,filled up the pot or container with soil mixed with composted matter till about 1/2 and placed a dried cow-dung pat on the soil mix,topped with little soil,next placed the rose plant on top of the soil and filled up the pot with the remaining soil.You can begin fertilizing the plant regularly with any of the fertilizing options given below.

Fertilization of Rose plants:-water used for washing fish or fish emulsions are good for rose plants,water used for cleaning and washing poultry and meat can be saved and poured into the rose plants,diluted cow urine can be added,cow-dung pats can be broken into small pieces and placed on top of the soil,crushed egg shells can be scattered.Chicken poop can be composted with your regular compost and this mix can be added to your roses.Used Tea Leaves can be washed and collected once you have fair quantity you can sprinkle this over the soil.Coffee grounds can be used in the same way.

Prune the rose plants regularly to encourage new growth and to also keep the rose plants in shape.
In case you find the rose plant is infected by mealy bugs or aphids remove all the infested parts and trim down the plant completely.Wait for the new growth to arrive.
