Plastic Flower
i have some rose bushes and they are growing in flower plastic containers?
was wondering should go on ahead and plant them in the ground or leave them in pots. they have been in the poit since feb or so this year. thy have bloomed but the stems have gotten taller at least 3 feet but they are not thick stems though. some of the leaves turn red but no buds whatso ever. they get plenty of sun. i do give them miracle grow once a month.should i cut them down now or wait. i live in north florida. i read that when your rose bush is tall and if the stems are really thin you should cut down to where the stem is thicker. i was wondering if that was true or not. well if it is better to grow them i the ground now how much sun is preferred for the roses. i only have small portions with sun but i have lots of rose bushes.
Actually, now is a great time to plant the rosebushes in the ground. If you get them in before the first frost, their roots will have been insulated from the frost, as opposed to being above the ground in the pot, where it is actually colder for the plant.
Just be sure when you plant to cut back all the dead twigs, water and fertilize well, and plan a good mulch around the roots. Straw is a good mulch for this time of year - when it breaks down over the winter it adds nitrogen to the soil whil protecting the stem from frost bite as well.
Good luck on getting roses in the spring.

why make flower pots out of plastic rather than ceramics?
tthe information details that im looking for is cost, ergonomics, material avaialbity, process of making them, ergonomics, functions and energy considerations
Regarding the cost question, check out your local garden centre or B & Q/Homebase and compare the price of plastic and clay pots . Or go on the website and get the information that way.
Ergonomics: plastic is lighter and more robust, so transport cost are lower,and so are damage losses. Clay is a lot heavier and requires much more volume for the same numbers of items.
With oil reaching $130 + a barrel, plastics raw materials are going to increase in cost to a marked extent, and even with recycling, Plastic pots are going to rise in price. There wil be a price increase for clay pots, but mainly as a result of greater transportation costs.
Manufacture of clay pots is a very old technology, although the firing process will cause problems on both cost and pollution considerations. Plastic pots are only economic when produced in large numbers , requiring investment in very expensive machinery .
Regarding the aesthetics and function, without touching the items , I cannot tell the difference between a terracotta clay and plastic pot , at least in the larger sizes and when new, and there isn't a whole lot to choose between the two from a horticultural pov, so it's down to your own preferences.
