My mother got a "flower carpet" tree rose as a gift. Now what do we do with it for the winter? It has now been planted in the flower bed. How do we protect it from our severe winter weather. Do we have to take any extraordinary measures with it. I presume we have to mulch the roots. Do we have to wrap the graft in a "blanket" to keep it warm for the winter? What have others done and how successful were your endevors?

We are in central Alberta.

Thanks for any and all sugestions.
