timing of transfer to cold frame

17 years ago

I live in zone 8 outside of Portland, Oregon at 1600ft and have cold frames placed on the south side of our cinderblock garage. I have rooted 4 cuttings from large unknown bush roses planted on the side of our local freeways (not rugosas). I rooted them some time in early September and they now have many new leaves and look healthy. When can I place them in the cold frames outside to harden off? When do they then get planted? We had very unusual snow over Christmas but are now back to our usual rain and 40's with nighttime in the low 30's.

Oh and BTW, same question for the hydrangea I rooted.

Thanks!
