Surrey, United Kingdom

Someone has given us 4 climbing roses they only about 2 ft high and in pots at present. We would like to know from anyone out there if it is possible to either keep them in the pots or plant them out into a border BUT without allowing them to climb too far-and we wondered if we could simply control their height and support them at the same time without having to buy trellis, obelisks etc. Will they still produce blooms? Any ideas please?
