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.

Today i was just searching for Dead heads then you pop up...rest is history i was hooked at bullet speed subscribed ....learned so much...& beyond in just few hours...how .amazing ...thank you jason

Your videos are excellent, informative and a pleasure to listen to.

You always give me great information and courage. Thank you

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!

Jason you are a blessing thank you

Thank you so much for the very interesting video I did take my containers inside in winter thank stay safe keep well happy and healthy ❤️

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

Thank you Jason for your good advices. 😃

As always, just to info I needed ! Thank you

I agree your videos are Awesome! - you make it easy to understand how to grow and take care of Roses for winter! You have such great information on Roses and these are my favourite flowers in my garden! - So glad I found your channel!

Thank you for all your help on roses. I have a few starters right from your channel. And they are doing great. Going to place them in side a shed for the upcoming winter. I live in Everson Wa. The winters can be harsh here.

Hard to believe I am thinking of winter in August, but I want to be prepared. This looks like a great method and I have the materials, including the leaves!

Here in New Zealand we are in our winter going into spring. Thank you so much for the tips :)

Thank you very much for the informative information.

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.

Very timely, thank you!!

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.

I cut the roses (25) down to the nub in Late Oct and cover with garbage bags, and tie. My roses are over 20 yrs old and bloom beautifully during ea season.

I never cover my roses, 15 years of beautiful roses, never no problem, I have roses in November and sometimes in December. I live in michigan

Thank for the video! It's great information to have.

I just found your KZfaq channel and am hooked, Wonderful videos have learned so much already.

This was really helpful as I am about to plant my roses in pots in the morning. Hello brisbane Australia

Thanks for this info. Very helpful .

thank you very much for this! A better option in comparison to burying them!

Thank you for information

I want that Hyssop behind you in the 1st segment of this video. It is amazing.

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

I love your video

I love roses and I always buy on a bargain price during winter but after a month my roses on the pot always died out so I decided to try to plant it in the ground. Then I started planting roses in the ground late summer of august last year and before the first snow in winter come I cover the ground area of roses with thick dried leaves and a thick wood above on it to isolate and glad I made it. Living in zone 5 near northern part of Sweden. The temperature reach to -20 degrees during winter sometimes 😊.

Very helpful Thankyou!

Thank you!

Thank you 🙂

Thanks so much for your post. I've been picking and drying all my blooms this year so now I'll stop. One of my newly planted(this spring) roses got powdery mildew last week so I've fed comphrey tea to it twice this week. Hope that's not too late to help in the year but I wanted to help it fight the infection(we are on a "feed it, don't spray it farm) It's the first time I've ever had this in 30 years....weirdly too much humidity in central Alberta this summer.

Thanks

I have a rose plant at least 15 years , very good fragrance and plenty of flowers, about 250 at a time. I may do or do not do any pruning. I do pruning only to give some shape and to keep my walk way clear.

I am fortunate to have a huge poplar tree near my rose garden and the roses themselves grow along a wire fence. The wind throws all those leaves from the tree on top of my rose bed and traps them against the fence, making a natural layer of insulation. The only bad part is raking up those leaves in the spring, and they are about a foot deep!

Thanks!

I’m technically “on the map” a zone 5, and I’ve planted roses for some 5. However, our climate is extremely brutal, windy and dry. So I will use your wrapping method and water them a few times in the winter.

I might repurpose your tip for protecting roses to protect some bougainvillea. Thanks!

Hi Jason, thank you so much for your videos! I was wondering if I should prune my rose to prepare it for winter. Thank you!

you could use fleece around the plant

Can I get some of your flowers they’re amazing 😉

I live way up in the Haliburton Highlands of Central Ontario and get -20 to -40 for four months straight. In mid November to early December I still have roses lol so that's when I usually start preparing for Winter to stay. I usually clean out my garden so just my roses and other flowers are left so I hill the base with soil. I can understand your concern not too as some people might hill their roses early before frost has set. Here after mid November and on there is no chance of rain as it gets really cold and between four to ten feet of snow here until mid April. In fact we still have left over snow and frost at that time lol. I have to cut my roses down to about a foot and cover them with tons of leaves or they would surely die. I left them tall one year and lost five of my mini roses and others turned black one half or more of the stem so since than I cut them down to a foot. I think I will try leaves wrapped in the burlap this year. By the way. Can you make a video of how to get climbing roses to branch or stem out as I have three but they only have one ten foot long stem and have never branched or stemmed out. Or please tell me the name if you have already made a video. }: Please and Thank you. Take Care

Lucky for us frost isn’t a problem the coldest it gets for us is 50 degrees F or 10 degrees C

Hi! I was wondering to which zone Ireland weather compares to? Thank you for your videos!!! They are great!

I've always covered the bases of my hybrid teas with soil just before the ground freezes solid. (My mother in law showed me how to do this, over thirty years ago.) It's surprising to hear that "hilling up" isn't recommended because it's standard practice here in Eastern Ontario. Our temperatures drop into the minus thirties every winter & covering the bases with a mound of soil is the only way to guarantee that hybrid tea roses will survive. (My neighbour tried spruce boughs but some of her roses didn't make it.)

Hello Fraser, Thanks for this informative video. Many of my roses are in pots. I have a portable green house (non-heated). Should I keep the green house outside in back yard or inside house near a window? Also, you mentioned we can store potted rose in car garage, how about sun light then? I also have many potted miniature rose. Can you advise what I should do with that?

Your flowers are gorgeous. Mine have petered out. What are those purple flowers behind you in the last area where you are talking? I need some of those next year. 😍

I live in Michigan, I've planted several roses in containers this year. Both climbing and shrub varieties. I plan on putting them in my unheated garage for the winter, will I have to water them while they're in the garage? How often?

Am here in japan and winter is coming and i want to keep it so i should put fertilizer start now

Hi Jason Thank you sooo much for your info Should my rose plants that are in the ground be covered as you described in November or December I’m in Toronto Lots of snow sometimes

Oh oh - I’m in zone 3b and just discovered my Hybrid Tea ‘New Zealand’ is zone 6! With my other roses I have done exactly what you advise - a wire cage filled with leaves - have never used burlap but thinking I will for this rose. Anything else you - or any subscribers - would recommend. ?It’s planted by the house so somewhat protected.

Hi there, interesting video as always. I have to say, I fall in love with the flowers behind you - especially the purple ones. Can you tell me the name of them. Thank you!

Hi Jason. I had to laugh I have literally just fertilized all my flowers including roses today and have just put straw mulch on all my roses, fuschias and hostas and lavender today lol. Typical lol. I will take all the mulch off tomorrow. Would you also take it off the other plants as they are all in containers also? Thanks take care Natalie 😀

You backyard is so beautiful! What gardening zone are you in?

Thank you for your video! This is my first year growing roses and I’m in zone 6. I’m a little anxious because we are in the mountains and get a good bit of wind as well as snow. Is it still ok to not winterize? The roses I chose are all hardy to 6.

Apart from wind, would you agree that too much water in a pot while overwintering could do a lot of damage to the roots? That’s why keeping pots under anykind of roof is better during dormant season?

Well explained 21.7.24

Do you strip the Bush of all the leaves or do you let them come off naturally?

Amazing video ! Thanks a lot , I live in northern Alberta- Canada (Hardiness zone 3, gets below -40 in winter ) just bought stunning pot roses , debating it i should leave it in pot or plant it ? Hardiness zone not written on it unfortunately , any advise ?

I like this purple flowering plant seen in the beginning of your video. Could you tell me please what it is?

Thank you so much for this video! Rabbits started eating my roses and only very dark stems are left so I am a bit scared. I will use the wrapping technique next winter. By the way the tall purple flowers behind you are gorgeous, what are they?

Thanks so much for the speedy reply. I’m not sure what “hardiness they are” but I know I would have bought them according to my proper climate, which is Ontario, Canada. Usually cold and snowy. I have been wondering though, if I cut them back heavily in the fall then how do my roses ever turn into these 3-4 ft bushes I was promised 🤷‍♀️. I was going out today to cut them back but it’s still so nice out, I thought maybe I should wait. If I still have the cards on them and they say hardiness to my zone, then do I just cut off the stragglers and leave the plant. I think that’s what you are saying. Thanks again.

What kind of flowers are those tall purple bushes? Beautiful and want some. Ty

thanks for sharing. one question : when you throw in leaves inside the chicken wire cage.. what happens when it snows. will the leaves get wet and cause root rot? should you remove them or leave then throo the winter. thank you so much for your suggestions

Hi Jason. If you are moving pots to a garage or shed for the winter, what lighting application, if any should be applied? I would guess it would need 4 to 6 hours of a grow light somewhere around 3 to 5 feet about the roses. Is this a good idea? A lot of garages don't have windows and some sheds don't either. Thank you.

So you have 2 videos on the winterizing roses. I put the same question on the other. Please reply wherever you see first :). I live in Minnesota and I just planted zone 3 and zone 4 roses. High voltage, Winnipeg parks and sunrise sunset suited for harsh winter hardiness. Should I prune, mulch/topsoil the bottom covered with chicken wire or just leave it as it is? I have no experience on rose plants. So please suggest. Thanks much!

When you say to put them in a garage, as a newbie in growing roses, does that mean leave them in a dark garage or shed winter long or just on colder predicted days? Thanks so much for all the awesome info on your channel

Hello Fraser. I live in a zone 5 (Nothern Co) but this winter has been more like a zone 6 or even 7 and very dry. Some roses are still shooting new growth in December! (They are in a south facing area). I stopped deadheading in early October, or they would have been blooming till now. All of them have green leaves with a little bit of purple frosting, but unlike other years, only one on them has some dry autumn leaves. I have placed the chicken wire structures like in your video and collected the leaves to eventually use them. However, I feel I should not place leaves or cut them down till these roses are a bit less alive. They are all rated for zone 5 or less except one zone 6, which has been in the same south and protected spot for a few years now. Should I wait for them to be a bit "more dead looking" to place the leaves?

Hi Jason. Is it okay to use a Wilt Stop on the roses. My location is extremely windy. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I was distracted by the yellow and purple flowers surrounded you, can I know their names? Will plant some next spring or summer 🙂

Hi I’m from southeast England, I got three containers roses this spring and now they grew way too high for a container rose, Ive been thinking will it be a good idea to take them out before winter and replant them in the garden, or wait until beginning of the season next year?

Hi i am from chicago. I very beginner of gardening.I just got my tea rose plant from heirlooms. Since here so much bunny/squirrel i put her in pot so that i can keep her safe into the chicken fence where i hv already started some veggies. So my question is 1.what woulb be my next step to prevent my rose from die. 2. August/September should be good time fertilising ? 3. Since here winter is very bad so i have to bring her inside right ? And for that what i need to do ? Like any trimming or anything so that she can re looming and survive. Please guide me.

What are the gorgeous purple spike flowers next to you in the video. Are they Salvia? Perennial or annual?

How can I protect Zepherine Drouhin (zone 6) through my zone 5 winters. They are growing over an arch in an unprotected area subject to north winds. Is there something like a mylar blanket for climbing roses?

I have found that leaves cause fungus for my roses zone 5b. I only wrap in burlap after long struggle with black spot

Have all shrub roses now and aside from feeding and cutting them back in the spring, I do nothing to them. This is why I bought shrub roses.

We live in zone 8 and my daughter is going to move and wants take her roses with her should we put them in pots in garage until spring or go ahead and put them in ground?

I have a black baccara rose growing in a container. I get cold, wet winters here in 9b, so I'm assuming it's to keep them out of the rain til spring?

Thanks you so much for your video. I am living in a zone 3 , and put my roses zone 4 ,5 and 6 in my unheated garage for the winter . I succeeded to keep them all green and in shape for all winter long and In the last weeks or so I saw they were starting to wake up , so I put them outside. Some of them did not like it at all and their canes came brown in 2 - 3 days . We still have some night at 28 F and now days are around 40 F. What did I do wrong ?

Hey Jason, when you use a burlap wrap do you bring the burlap all the way up in line with the top of the bush? I live in northeast Ohio and many of my roses had a tough time last winter so I want to protect them mostly from wind. I have some roses that grew very tall and lanky this summer. I don't normally prune at this time of year (October) but should I cut off excess height before wrapping so they are not blowing in the wind because some of my roses (Tropicana for one) grew 7 ft tall over the summer. Also at what time do you actually put up the protection. It's late October here and many of my plants still have buds and most of their leaves but I know the temps can turn on dime here. Thanks

Good information,i have queen Elizabeth Roses how to care for them in winter and summer.what kind of plan in back with purple flowers very beautiful.

I never wrap them but do you think I should wrap them w/ agribon to prevent wind damage? I mulch them w/ coffee grounds so their mulch never changes. Last year I composted my Butterfly bushes slightly out de love, smh. I will place the rabbit manure WAY further back and just use oak leaves that are relatively impermeable to water.

Hi Jason, I'm new to planting roses and have been watching your videos and even joined the exchange group on fb! I live in New west which is same zone as the fraservalley and because I live in a condo, all my roses are in containers and in the balcony. All my roses are hardy to at least zone 5 some even down to 3 or 4. Aside from maybe moving the pots closer to the wall of my building, I won't be able to offer too much winter protection to the plants. What else do you think a condo dweller like me can do and based on our hardiness zone and the hardiness rating of my roses, in your experience, how likely are the roses going to successfully over winter with minimal protection? Thanks in advance

Hi Jason, thank you for the tutorial. I wonder if I should winternize climbing roses the same way as the bushes? Do I need to cut them down to three feet tall? I am in Toronto. Thank you.

I purchased 3 rose bushes and 3 azalea bushes late at the end of season Cuz they were clearance. I didn’t have time to plant them in the ground. Can I store them in the garage till spring?

I am from Canada, my rose is still booming, but winter is here and also we got the first snow today which Nov 1st, do I have to bring my rose inside the house, if I bring the rose pot inside the house is it going to survive, or live it outside, please advise thanks.

Hey Jason, I know this isnt your specialty but I figure you'd still be one of the best people to ask. I just bought a few blueberry bushes, peach tree and grape vine and im wondering if itd be best for me to transplant them into the ground now, wait until theyre dormant, or even wait until next spring. I live in zone 6a, also seems like the plants are just becoming potbound now. thanks in advance

I have a rose plant that has never bloomed in five or six years it has not land. Is there an answer to the question of why

After we wrap the outside of the chicken wire fencing with burlap , do we also cover up the open top of the chicken wire fencing with burlap? Thank you!

Hi, I live in Vermont, Zone 3...I also have a desire to grow hybrid tea roses...I’ve had some good results by burying the plants over their crowns in the fall, then covering them with shredded softwood shavings...here’s my question...I’ve been buying both own root and grafted bareroot plants...do you think I might have good results by digging the plants and putting them in a fridge over winter...that would mean 6 months in a fridge...? Thanks, Ken Davis, Middlesex, Vt

Hi! I recently got 2 david austin roses and they are thriving in their pots. My plan was to plant them towards the front of home nearby sidewalk which has no wind break. In your expert opinion, should I leave them over winter in the small plastic greenhouse or should I plant them already?

I may be incorrect...but...wouldn't throwing dead leaves be the equivalent of mulching around it? As in: something to trap moisture near the base? This is regarding the one you wrapped with the netting toward the end.

Hi is it possible the dry leaves could store moisture an hurt the crown

Hi I am in Minneapolis and I keep seeing other posts of people using pool noodles to insulate their standard roses so do you think that is a good idea and maybe mixing it with the fence shroud and leaves and burlap or is that overkill? And I don’t think my fence is tall enough to go around the canes. Thanks.

I am think grow in at tent is a great way for roses in winter?

I have a really small miniature rose plant and it has foliage, two roses in bloom, and I think two more one the way. It even has newish foliage. Is this a problem since it’s October now? Is there a way I can still protect it?

How often should you water the roses in container during winter while they are in dormant? Thank you! :D
