Default How late can I plant rugosas?

Sam Kedem usually has a nice selection of rugoses and other hardy roses in pots
at his nursery near Hastings. The potted roses can be planted anytime before
freeze up.

One year I had some potted Town and Country (not rugoses) roses go dormant in
the pots so I buried them pot and all for the winter, grew them in the pots the
next summer and finally planted them in the fall. Most rugoses are even tougher
than the Town and Country plants.
