2 New Mini's in 1 Big Pot

| I have 2 small band roses which I need to plant and I currently have 1 very large (24" pot) which is vacant.
Has anybody ever planted 2 mini's in 1 pot? I really do not want to go out to purchase another 2 pots when I have this one already.
What do you all think? |

| 24" dia pot may be too big to start when planting roses that are currently in a band size pot. You may what to first start them off in a 1 or 2 gal pot. Which minis do you have and how deep is the pot? As that would make a difference on if you could eventually plant them both in the same pot. |

| I don't see a problem with that... I planted 6 minis in a window box and would transplant them when they got too big... |

| I have planted my Vi's Violet and Baby Boomer together in a pot that is about 1 1/2 gallons. Just put them in yesterday, watered well. They are sitting in partial shade on the balcony. Hoping the weather here will last into Oct/Nov since we've had such a cool summer. It is Chicago though and that may just be wishful thinking but I'm hoping to get some good growth going before the frost begins. |

| Kforrest Even if these are fresh out of the band pot minis, a 1 1/2 gal pot is really small for two plants. IMO, would recommend stepping up to a larger pot so they have room to grow. |
