That assumes I'd attempt to grow roses here! LOL - if it needs winter
pampering I don't do it!

But, the rest of the trick is worth a try!

Has any one had success doing this? I've tried on several occasions with
very little compost and lots of leaves looking like they just fell yesterday
after a year's time. I've tried adding water after filling the bag and
bagging wet leaves. I use partially shredded leaves from my mower.
