Why are our roses dying after a year or two?

1 Answer

Answer :

Only roses grown in cold weather area will survive your winters.  We bought roses from a warm area......and we are a cold area.......they did not survive the cold winter when it was -10 degrees.  You have to mulch then pull it away when the danger of frost has passed.
