Nothing! Its still covered in snow. :-D
I did move my stored roses outside. I have a protected corner on the south
side of my house were a "foyer" like entry sticks out. The hat and weedX I
put down last summer is still there. I angled a board across the corner and set
my 4 potted roses in the corner, stuffed as much straw as I possibly could
around the pots and plants. I then covered it all with a burlap sack, 3 layers of
reemay and 2 old acrylic blankets. It been down to 14 degrees and the new
shoots are still ok so it looks like this will work.
Funny/amazing thing was when I moved a 1 gal pot that had been sitting
unmoved since last summer, there was a live earthworm under it! Spring is
coming!
