RpR said: What kind of rose?
Hi, I don't know if you meant to reply to my post... the roses I have in pots are all modern ones (hybrid teas or floribundas). I had already 2 of them in pots last winter (although the pots are placed near the house's wall) and I had no problems at all during the winter. The other 4 in pots are not so repaired because they are placed nearby the fence, so they should suffer a bit more the low temperature... so maybe I will have to cover them (?)
