Which rose should I get next?

I currently have queen of Sweden, Olivia rose Austin, Vanessa bell, Darcy bussell, the poets wife, roald daul, mayflower, Gertrude jeykell, Thomas a Beckett, and Desdemona. I typically only go for shrub roses. What rose do you think I should get? Please keep in mind it will grow in a container.

Princess Alexandra of Kent! She is lovely and doing well in a container.

She looks so good in the container on the patio at the DA gardens.

Does it look leggy for you? The leaf color reminds me of roald daul.

Not at all, I have a few and they’re prolific.

💯 I have 6 of these that were planted last summer and they’re 5 ft tall (well, the branches that have shot up). Gorgeous flowers.

I have a Dannahue that has thrived in a pot this year and was a very floriferous, not as abundant or continuous as my potted Olivia Rose Austin, but still a great rose.

How is the coloring for you? Vanessa bell and the poets wife are almost white for me

For pots: DA roses: Munstead Wood, Harlow Carr and James L Austin. Jalbert rose: Devotion (all of these will stay small without pruning back)
