Plants To Grow With Roses
Can I plant a single rose in a glass jar?
I want to plant a single rose inside an 8-inch tall jar with diameter of 4 inches. I’ll place the jar near a window and grow the plant there. Usually, roses grow best in bushes, right? I thought I’d get some seeds from this website (http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheRoseShop?ref=seller_info)… So will the rose grow by itself?
Thank ya ;D
My mom rooted cuttings of roses in a gallon jar with sand.
But maintaining a rose at a size you describe will be a challenge.
You don’t come off as a confident shear wielder, so I would recommend a miniature rose.

Time to Plant & Prune Fruit Trees & Roses in Southern California
January is a good time to plant dormant fruit trees and roses for wonderful springtime color and fruit harvest. With Southern California’s normally mild winters, a variety of vegetable and berry plants will also do well when planted in January.
Plant dormant fruit and rose trees: Bare root fruit trees and roses may appear lifeless in winter but will grow heartily in spring and summer if planted now. Plant apricot, plum, apple, pear and peach trees, and all types of Rose Bushes. Add organic compost planting mix to the soil to increase soil aeration and to keep in moisture.
Plant California Native Vegetation: Winter is the ideal time to plant California native vegetation. Winter rains give them a healthy start. Plant such natives as iris, Manzanita, sycamore, yarrow and Matilija poppy.
Prune and Pinch: Prune deciduous trees and shrubs and pinch back dead portions of perennial and annual flowers to keep plants looking fit. For roses, prune no more than one-half of new growth from the previous growing season. Pruning and pinching encourages new growth that will produce fuller flowers and larger fruit.
Plant Winter Vegetables: For gardeners who can’t wait until spring to plant a vegetable garden, cool weather vegetables are ready to plant in January. They include artichokes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, peas, potatoes spinach and strawberries.
Extending the Life of Poinsettias: Poinsettia flowers will usually remain healthy into March. After March, cut back the stems to no more than eight inches tall. By June, new growth will begin. Keep the plant in indirect, natural sunlight and the soil moderately moist. When the weather warms, bring the plant outside and transplant into a bigger pot. Prune as needed so the plant is bushy. Flowers will begin to grow in October and reach their peak of beauty in November and December.

What vines are best to grow with roses?
I am interested in growing a fragrant vine in between two roses that I have in my very small garden in the SF Bay Area. I am wondering what vines (or plants that can be espaliered) share the same cultural needs as a rose. I have tried to grow common jasmine and Chilean jasmine in the past, but found that both plants quickly climb on and strangle the roses. Any ideas?
for roses you should do a vine that you can easily train and you don’t have a big worry about the stranglement of your roses…..of course vines are hard to grow around roses….try something like a purple Victoria or a plant that looks viney that won’t take away the delicate flower of a rose….antique roses give off a scent because they’re not genetically altered…so you might want to grow one of those for fragrance around the others but get just a lush green vine that emphasizes the color of the rose….
GOOD LUCK! = P
