Beautiful Roses for Montanans
Montana gardeners should winterize roses now with severe fall pruning. Cut hybrid teas to 3-4 inches and hybrid perpetuals to 6 inches, then cover soil and mulch with 12 inches of straw or vines. Water deeply, let ground freeze, then protect beds until April 15. Climbing roses lay flat and cover. Next summer blooms will reward care.
