    Hi High Kype Yes but I personally would,nt use anything less than a Half Barrel,But as a rule of thumb Just make sure the Pot is at Least 20 inches in diameter, Rose roots generally grow Much more Horizontally than vertically,and It will need watering a lot more than one in the ground and feeding at least twice a year [​IMG]
