  I’m from Australia so when you say August for example doesn’t mean anything to me so could you think about saying a month before winter or 2-3 months before summer something like this so people in my situation understand better, thanks 🙏🏼

  I live in zone 8B and my mother has always placed her flowers (in pots) and vegetables (in pots) against the wall on her patio. Then she covers them in plastic and only leaves the top open to breathe. The plastic provides a shield against the night frost and the next morning she just pulls the plastic down a little because the sun is shining. She does that daily beginning in Dec-Feb and she never lost a plant. Food for thought.

  hi, covering the roses in a pile of snow, if they are about the right zone, is enough in my climate. Snow the best, warm cover against the freeze and the winds. Burlap works if the freeze comes before the snow.

  Thanks again. I do get strong winter winds through my rose garden, which explains the problem. I shall follow your suggestion.

  I live in Alaska and I cover  mine with garbage rubber garbage cans and it works for me.

  Hi Jason & friends. I'm in zone 6b and unfortunately where a couple of prized rose bushes are planted on each side of my porch is where the snow unfortunately has to be shovelled off of said porch. I've always fitted a couple of tomato cages over the rose bushes and hilled them up with discarded potting soil and filled them with leaves too. They've survived very well and one even won best rose in show a couple of years ago. PS I do fall pruning to prevent breakage through the winter months. It's served me well.

  Thank you so much all the tutorials you’re making 🌹 I didn’t intent to have roses in my garden, but your work inspired me so much and gave me such precise information that now, year later, my garden has five different rose variants, 14 specimens in total. I’m located in Finland, so advice on overwintering is much appreciated. Hope you and your family have a lovely autumn!

  I have a heavy duty cross cut paper shredder that I use to shred all those Amazon boxes. It makes perfect mulch. This year I'm going to use your wire surround idea with this mulch for my potted roses. Michael
