help with plants during winter.
"zuhayr-123" wrote
well with winter a'coming im worrying about the plants i have (albeit a small collection) could someone please tell me if they will live through the winter ? i have two ugni flambeaus (ones already burned and probably dead but i havent thrown it out yet) 2 rhododendhrons 2 rose bushes and the rest are small inexpensive plants that will re-seed could someone please tell me whether or not they will live through the winter and if not will they grow back ? also.. can someone go through the logical steps of 'winter sowing' do i have to water them through the cold winter and possibly snow. i'd be really greatfull for any help from anyone smarter than me :P You don't say where you are in the world but as you have posted to this Newsgroup via a UK web site I will assume you are in the UK. Ugni molinae 'Flambeau' should be hardy down to -5°C or so and unless you live in northern Scotland or up a mountain it shouldn't be dead yet. Rhododendrums and Roses are as tough as old boots in the UK if planted in the ground so just prune the roses now to stop wind rock over winter and leave the Rhody alone. If any or all of these plants are in pots they will need protection over winter, move them up near the house and wind bubble wrap around the pot to stop the roots freezing, but still allowing rain to get in. -- Regards.
