For roses, we would use at least a five gallon or larger container, the larger the better. Planting soil should be equal parts lightweight potting mixture, composted cow manure or mushroom compost and garden compost.
Be sure that the container has drainage holes and place some gravel in the bottom to ensure drainage.
Roses need good air circulation, so only plant one rose per container and keep them spaces about 24 inches or more apart.
The article listed under Sources has basic rose planting info that will apply to containers also.
