I've just purchased a Mr. Lincoln Rose, [View all]

will pick it up in a few days. I have a ceramic container I had planned to use for a different rose, what didn't make it through the winter.

Thoughts on size/type of container I should use for Mr. Lincoln? The one I have isn't tall, and maybe 2 or so feet across.
