Roses in Barrels

Just bought some David Austin roses. I want them going over the front door.
As I dont have border space is it OK for them to be put into a half barrel?
I ask because I am wondering about the frost. I am in Lancashire.

Thanks Sam

 

I don`t see a problem with growing them in half barrels, Sam. Just make sure they are watered and fed regularly and they should be fine. If you are concerned that the roots may getfrosted in winter, you could always wrap the barrels in bubble insulation.:thumb:

 

OK thanks for the reply much appreciated.
