We had the temp drop to 34 degrees the other night and I did not cover anything. We did bring some potted flowers into the house.

But that temp did not seem to hurt anything...Probably because it really did not stay that temp for very long...

We are going to have more nice weather coming soon... :-)

Just wondering kentucky_rose ... Where did you purchase those huge frost cloths? Thanks!

My roses are grown in pots (about 50) and when the temperature gets to about 20F I bring them in the garage IF the temperatures stay low. If the forecast is for the temps to rise again, I leave them outside.

Jim, About 2 or 3 winters ago, I googled frost blankets and bought a huge roll. It was one of my best investments in my rose garden. The purpose was for spring frost and they can be left on for days. A.M. Leonard may be the vendor. The frost blankets are suppose to be good for extending the growing season for some veggies. No frost this morning. The temps didn't drop and looks like at least another good fall week for growing roses!

The frost blankets sound like a very good idea.

Another beautiful bouquet!

Wow id love to have your roses!!

It still hasn't gone below the 50s here. Love your flowers!

Beautiful bouquet!!

Great looking bouquet! Thanks for info on frost blankets!

Thanks everyone.
