Winterization of Roses
by Marty Reich, NRS Master Rosarian
It is time to put the kids to bed. The last big rose chore before we get to put our feet up and enjoy the rose catalogs needs to be done by about the first week of December.

Protect too soon and the bush will not have time to gear up its internal winterization mechanism.
