Will rose plants freeze to death in winter? Do they need to be moved into a heated room? You're actually overthinking it

[0028]Will rose plants freeze to death in winter? Do they need to be moved into a heated room? You're actually overthinking it!

Yesterday Lanyao recommended some rose varieties suitable for the heat and sun of the south, and then some gardening friends sent Lanyao private messages asking what rose varieties are suitable for growing in the north?

Actually, many gardening friends have asked Lanyao before: will rose plants freeze to death in winter? Do they need to be moved indoors? Northern gardening friends in particular, because of the cold weather, worry even more about roses overwintering.

Will rose plants freeze to death in winter?

Actually, rose plants are very cold-hardy. The vast majority of roses can tolerate -15°C, and some can tolerate -20°C.

So gardening friends in the south and central regions have no need at all to worry about roses overwintering; they can simply overwinter outdoors in the open ground.

For gardening friends in the north, as long as winter temperatures do not drop below -15°C, roses can overwinter outdoors in the open ground, and those planted in the ground need no cold protection measures. For potted ones, it is recommended to bury the whole pot in the ground, or move them into an unheated cold room.

If you are in a more northerly region such as Heilongjiang, where winter temperatures are below -20°C, then you need to take cold protection measures for your roses.

Potted ones should be moved into a cold room where the temperature does not drop below -10°C. For those planted in the ground, you should tidy up the branches at the start of winter, tie them up, and then cover them with straw, plastic film, etc. to keep them warm. At the same time, pay attention to wind protection, as strong winds will quickly dehydrate and wither the rose branches.

Actually, in the vast majority of regions in our country, when growing roses you hardly need to worry about overwintering, and autumn is also a fairly good time to plant roses, as it gives them enough time to recover from transplanting, and they can then grow explosively in spring.
