how big is the average black baccara rose? compared to passion rose?
http://www.fwxflowers.co.uk/rose/c3268-1.html
the site says between 1 and 6 inches. but thats what they say of ALL the roses…
so whats the average size black baccara?
Otherwise, i want a deep scarlet rose that is a “good” size, any ideas? is a passion rose really that scarlet? thats what i was recommended but i am not sure from the pictures they just look average red to me?
Do you mean the size of the bloom or the shrub? The site would be talking about the size of the bloom, closed about 1-2 inches, fully open 5-6 inches. This would be true of most Floribunda species roses.
The size of the rose bush will vary according to how much you prune it. Let go and a rose will grow up the three meters and beyond. Best keep it pruned to under a meter.
Every winter after they loose their leaves, prune back hard and open up the plant (take out branches that cross over, turn inwards etc). This will stimulate lots of new growth come spring and lots of flowers.
I cant suggest a particular variety as there are thousands and one thats available down here may not be a common type there. I have grown Black Baccara before and it is a beautiful rose.

Will a rose bush be ok left in a pot?
My mother in law gave me a potted standard rose bush for my birthday and as there’s nowhere to plant it(all my gardens receive half shade/light), I was wondering whether it would be ok to plant it out in another larger pot. If ok, how large and deep should the pot be?
ahh sorry, I live in a sub-tropical area of Australia.
Yes, Roses like to send their roots pretty far, so it will need a pretty good sized pot, but aside from that, it should be fine. Roses also benefit greatly from phosphate. Most rose experts recommend mixing some “super-phosphate” into the soil priot to planting. You can get super phosphate at any gardening store, or on-line. Also, most potted need to be re-potted (can be in teh same pot) every 3 years or so, which includes trimming the roots at that time.
