Wallaby,

That clump at the college was a Belgian type, based on the flower and leaves. In GG Park they had two types, the hybrid and the older, closer to the species type. The broader leaved hybrid didn't bloom or set seed as well as the thinner leaved selected species type. I liked the thin leaved type because it was taller and the leaves more numerous.

If you are growing them on in the greenhouse I would suggest 'rose pots'. They are narrow & deep enough to have space for a larger root system and should give you a little more floor space. I have heard that they bloom sooner if kept root bound, but, I wonder if that is true for this plant. I would suspect that good care is a more important a factor.
