Here's a video that I found showing you how you can grow garlic in containers. Though garlic takes an awfully long to time to grow, it's ridiculously easy. You can buy bulbs from a nursery or online store, or just use what you find at the market. I've used both. You separate the bulb into cloves, plunk them in the ground pointy side up, give them a bit of water once in a while, and otherwise leave them alone for like half a year.
The video focuses on planting in containers, but of course, you don't have to feel limited to them. I have garlic growing everywhere, in both containers and garden beds. They aren't picky. Plant some near your roses! They are very fond of each other.
Around here garlic goes into the ground around September, and doesn't come out again until maybe early June. Kind of a long time, but at least it wasn't labor intensive!
