Is winter protection necessary in the more temperate areas where the temperature seldom, if ever, falls below zero?
No. If roses are properly maintained, sprayed or dusted carefully, and disease and insect injury prevented, roses are hardy to several degrees below zero. If they are neglected and are weak when they go into the winter, they should have a mound of earth at least 8 to 10 inches high placed over the crown of the rose and up into the stems.
