Winter protecting roses tips from a horticultural note
The article advises covering hybrid tea, polyantha and floribunda roses for winter. Prune tea roses to about 18 inches, remove and burn pruning waste to curb disease, and leave polyantha and floribunda unpruned until spring. Use peat moss or sawdust for insulation, guard against mice with poison in a tin, and apply flax straw two to three feet deep for best protection.
