Certain Varieties Of Roses Are Winter Protection
Varieties of roses need winter protection to survive severe winters says John Wingert extension horticulturist. Hybrid tea roses are susceptible to winter kill in all areas and can be protected by hilling soil 6 to 8 inches on stems or by scraping soil between plants if spaced apart. After ground freezes, apply a loose mulch such as straw cornstalks evergreen branches or stable manure to insulate the ground.
