Most roses are hardy, but the finish must be protected!
Master roses overwinter properly
Stem roses are not an independent group of roses. Instead, it is a special breed form, in which certain garden rose varieties on a stem formers - are usually particularly robust wild roses - ennobled. A rose stem is more prone to frost in winter than other roses.
Winterize the high stems
Due to their habit, stem roses are much more exposed to frost than low rose bushes; In addition, one can not protect the delicate finishing point - which is located directly under the crown - by accumulating. It is particularly important to protect the crown from dehydration, ie from the winter sunlight, when the ground is frozen at the same time. Most roses do not freeze, but dry up when the soil is frozen hard and the roots can no longer absorb water. For optimum winter protection, tie pine sprigs into the crown to protect the delicate finish and finally put on a jute sack or a special winter fleece over it.
Tips
Do not use plastic bags! Below it forms condensation, which in turn promotes the formation of decay.
