| When we moved to N AZ (4500 ft elev) from coastal SoCA two months ago, we brought along five roses from a local CA grower. They were "bare root" in moist bark for about three weeks. All weathered the moved nicely and put on strong new growth as soon as I repotted them (in disposable paper paint buckets) and set them out. They're in a bright location on the covered patio. In Spring, they'll go into the ground when I see the bare root roses for sale at garden center.
Days here in the coldest part of winter are 40s-50s with nights are commonly in the 20s. Will freezing kill potted roses? Should I move the roses into the shed until Spring? Should I continue water as long as the leaves are viable? |

| You should continue watering even after the leaves die, enough to keep the soil from getting completely dry. In my zone 7, I push pots close together in a sheltered outdoor location and pile leaves around them. |
