Lois Warme of Iowa State University advises using warm colors like reds and yellows, textured walls and fabrics, seasonal accessories, and thoughtful furniture placement to create the perception of warmth. She notes that warm hues can feel 3 to 4 degrees warmer, textures add coziness, and proper insulation and weather stripping remain essential for energy efficiency.

Getting roses ready for winter in Iowa
Ed Cott of Iowa State University recommends the mound plus litter method over rose cones for overwintering roses. In northern areas mounds are protected with straw and plastic, while southern regions wait until late fall. Cones risk rot if placed too early. secure cones with weight and avoid clear plastic to prevent overheating.
