Can tea roses survive in a plastic pot,instead of being planted in the ground?

I live in an apartment and i enjoy roses very much, i don't want to permanently plant them here.

Can tea roses survive in a plastic pot,instead of being planted in the ground?
I have never had success with trying to keep them in a container, but when I plant them outside they do beautiful, if you can, definitely plant them in the ground they are almost guaranteed to do well.
Reply:In general, a standard tea rose bush can only stand confinement in a pot for so long. You might want to switch to miniature roses in pots while you reside in an apartment.





Otherwise, if you have permission to plant a few tea roses on at your rented place, do so and enjoy them while you are there. If you really enjoy having roses around, even at an apartment, I would recommend this.
Reply:They don't like it. But as long as the pot is big enough that they don't get rootbound, they will survive with TLC.
Reply:see if you can find a larger pot that what they came in so you can add more soil and then you will have to water them more often bc they will loose moisture faster. Sometimes you may be able to bring them inside in the winter and continue to grow then there.good lick.
Reply:Do you have space outside because you can always dig up pieces (if it does well) and take with you when you leave. Mine have never survived in a plastic pot. If you dont want to put in the ground, I would get a nice big pot so it has plenty of room to grow, give it some plant food and find a spot that it gets plenty of light.
