Default Winter in Southcentral Texas

Not really complaining, since we seldom get
this kind of weather and it's usually gone
pretty quickly, but I'm hoping some of my
smaller, weaker roses survive the current
cold & icy conditions.

Both above-ground ponds were iced over
this morning and will probably be so tomorrow,
but not the in-ground pond. It never ices
over. I'm guessing the roses will do fine
since the ground will remain much warmer
than the air temperature. If the in-ground pond
water froze on top, then I'd be worried
about all the roses! They've not gone
dormant at all and seldom do.

Here's hoping all your roses survive winter
conditions!
