I think I messed up bad, this was the first year I winterized roses (I live in
Michigan). I cut them down to about 6 inches from the ground and then placed
old plastic pots on top of them. I then cut slits in the top and filled them
with black pine mulch. When I removed the pots yesterday I found the roses in
terrible shape, the stems seem to all have rotted. I think I really screwed up

A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a dumb man something to stick in his
mouth.
