Winterizing Roses
Should you get the rose plants 'ready' for winter?
If you live in a cold climate zone, the answer is yes!
Some roses are hardier than others, and will do o.k. without protection, but some of the more tender ones may be lost if you don't protect them.

Protect your Roses
Tender roses such as Hybrid teas are best grown in warmer climates, but even some of them need a little blanket of protection to survive the winter months.

There's not much to do to the old garden roses, other than be sure the bed is tidy, and enjoy the rose hips!
