I know Roma's are particularly bad about BER in containers - I haven't even tried to grow them. Opalka HATED my containers - I got maybe one fruit off of it. Next year, I'll plant it in the ground where I put in a test Brandyboy.

But, generally, it will pass. If you can keep the containers from drying out, that will help - tomatoes don't like going from wet to dry back to wet.
