Get Planting (Fall Style).
Here is a little bit of my handy work from this Fall. As you can see, I really don’t do anything too special. I choose plants that are zone appropriate for my area and I try to give the roses 6 weeks until a hard freeze. In Colorado, freeze dates are always a little tough to gauge. I typically rely on USDA data and then get overly optimistic that winter will be late. When I inevitably run into an early freeze, I simply cover the rose with a bucket for extra short term protection. I also mulch the roses pretty heavily (6″-8″) when I plant and leave it on through the winter. Typically this method gives your plants a great chance to establish their root system before going dormant for the winter. Best of all, your roses will have a bit of a leg up emerging in the spring.
