Joseph's Coat and Paradise both bloomed well after our first nights below freezing! I was so surprised.This week, though, I finally tucked them in for the winter. I usually make a wire cage around the rosebush and fill it with leaves to protect the plant. I wrap my climbers with burlap as well. I've had great success (of course, we also have more gentle winters than Toronto, but ours have a good deal of wind with very little snowcover.)Thanks for the post. I'll certainly be coming back for updates. I love to include gardening on my own blog, but I'm always ready to learn new things. Now that the growing season is done, we get to the fun of planning for next year!Best, MM Do you know, my roses did the same thing down here in Illinois?

It´s getting colder here too.. not quite as cold as where you are though. I heard that Scotland is to expect its coldest winter in over 30 years!! Hopefully it´ll not be too awful for us all this year. There are already a lot of people with the cold, just think what it´ll do to all the flowers!! Hope you feel better soon!Marina Your roses look beautiful despite all the cold weather. It´s getting colder here too.. not quite as cold as where you are though.

I love how tenacious these flowers are, still perfuming itself for the bees even though it is dying. We should be like that with our personal grooming, hehe. Gosh I am so jealous!
