I have learned over the past several years thatit takes several days of 20-degree nights to really hurt them,unless they are really tiny and/or young. Are these new bareroots? If so, they still should be mounded with mulchsince our "last freeze" date is April 15. (I'm in Raleigh.) The roses I worry the most about in cold snaps are the very small, young own roots or "bands" from Heritage and Vintage. Still and all, with only minimal winter protection (mulch) I have only lost one rose to cold--the first-year own root Joyfulness. One good thing to do is to water your roses (too late this time!) well before a cold snap is expected. It's the drying effect of the cold that harms them. ed |
