Does anyone know what size of pot (if at all) I could get away with growing this in? I fancy one but I'm a little short of space thanks to all the roses and clematis.

Hello,
Could you describe more fully the plant you want help with.
With a few more details I am sure you will get some help.
Best wishes,
Gerald.

Hi Gerald

I'm afraid that's all I know about it I saw it on ebay (in the link above) thought it looked pretty nice but I'm short on space as all my large pots are stuffed full of clematis and roses.

Thanks for the reply :)

Hello again,
I followed your link and now know what we are looking at.
You will need a 15 inch pot and a 5 foot long broom handle (preservative treated). Use a good potting compost that you have enriched with something like Bonemeal (handle wearing gloves).With broom handle inserted to bottom of pot fill with compost whilst planting vine making sure stem of vine is close to broom handle in middle of pot.
Allow strongest shoot to grow 3 or 4 inches above top of broom handle and pinch out growing point, allow the top 5 sideshoots to grow but remove all other basal shoots.In late autumn or early winter shorten back these top five growths to 2 inches from main stem. The following spring allow 5 uppermost shoots to grow and cascade to within 3 inches of ground level, again removing all lower growth. Continue this pruning system each and every year to produce a stunning standard weeping grape.Feed vine from time to time with different types of tomato feed. Worth trying this system with a good fruiting vine.
On E.Bay people do use very odd names.
Best wishes,
Gerald.
