I'm keeping them watered; many seem to enjoy this weather (except the freezes proper) Hold on a second... it even freezes in FLORIDA? Is there some part of the US that doesn't freeze in winter outside of Hawaii? Some parts of coastal California are relatively free from frost. I live in Los Angeles proper and the coldest I've seen in twenty years is 40 degrees fahrenheit. However, just 10-15 miles to the north of me in the San Fernando Valley there can definitely be light frosts, but usually not lower than 27-32 degrees fahrenheit. ---- |

" Some parts of coastal California are relatively free from frost. I live in Los Angeles proper and the coldest I've seen in twenty years is 40 degrees fahrenheit. However, just 10-15 miles to the north of me in the San Fernando Valley there can definitely be light frosts, but usually not lower than 27-32 degrees fahrenheit. In Sherman Oaks, just on the edge of the San Fernando Valley, there has not been sufficient cold weather in the last four years to permit Gallicas (La Belle Sultane) to bloom; the last serious freezing weather took place in our area in the last two weeks in December in 1990 where the temperatures were in the low twenties and teens. In fact, I lost about twenty to thirty plumerias and arabian jasmines at the time. However, most of the roses loved it. JD |
