Likewise, we got our new roses finally in the ground and I leave for the
day - drive in ice and rain most of the day, go to a meeting, drive back in ice
and then just spotted rain. Get home and we got 0.7" of rain. Today the
roses are perky and continue to bloom. The ice didn't bother them as yet.

It was a light freeze, but 3 more nights will be sub freezing. But the roses
are off the porch and will last better in the ground at this point.

I did some cutting about 7 weeks ago. I clipped a few from all my
favorites, and filled a wet seedling tray. We had enough rain, I never had
to water it, and ended up with about 10 thick rooted cuttings.
