I planted one of these against my south west facing wall in spring. It was only 1 foot and has grown almost to 6 foot this year!! I think it would be too vigorous for a pot. I wish i had planted the white one now but i do like the flowers. I heard the white one is a bit less of a thug.
I grew one in a 25cm wide, 40cm deep, pot for about 3 years and it did very well and flowered profusely. Since planting it in the ground it has produced far more growth and had fewer flowers, so I think you'll be ok for a few years at least.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

It's going to grow very big so,a 30in pot depth about the same. You will have to water it a lot in the summer.

thanks - I need a thug to screen off my balcony and hide my neighbours!

can't WAIT till the spring and watch it slowly grow and make my balcony more and more private as the weeks go on
