Roses – Winter Protection Protocol
Q: I am growing roses in pots on a raised deck. What is the recommended winter protection for a container grown rose?
A: The safest thing to do is to move them into an unheated garage or basement. If this is impossible, move the containers against an east-facing exterior wall in December. If winter temperatures drop into the ‘teens, cover each plant with a blanket.
