I'm ordering some of my replacements this weekend. That ice storm a
few weeks ago did in quite a few rose bushes.

The roses survived the ice itself with no problems, and it didn't get
cold enough to jeopardize anything. But the freezing rain brought
down a pine tree, which obliterated most of two rose beds when it
fell.

You can spray for pests and disease, but you can't spray for
gravity...
