| Last year winter came so fast I didn't have a chance to mulch my roses. I want to be SURE to do so this year. Those of you who live in N.E. Ohio....WHEN do you mulch them? How much mulch do YOU put around them? I have many bushes and climbers now (I lost a lot of them due to last year's winter) and I hope not to lose any more over this winter. Please help. |

| You need to wait until the roses are completely dormant and there isn't a chance that it will warm back up again. I don't do mine until December most years now. Last year did catch us off guard but we just went out and did it in the cold and snow anyway. Better that than putting it on too soon. If it's too warm it will cause mold and canker to grow on them. |
