What do you do to protect your rose bushes for the winter?
This is only the second year I've had roses, and last winter I just bought the styrofoam rose cones and put aroud them.. Worked great!
This year, however, the rose bushes are way too big for the cones. Can I cut the rose bushes down until they fit into the cones again? Will this hurt the blooming next spring?
Don't ask what kind of roses I have, because the only ones I know the names of are the Morden's, but there's lots that I haven't figured out what they are. I went on a major rose collecting spree last year, but didn't keep very good tract of what they were.
Oh...just remembered that one of them is a climbing 'Peace', one bears the name Mr. Lincoln, another Firecracker...and I can't remember the rest.
