The Best Rose Varieties for Winter

from: Lawn and Garden Magic



Before planting your roses you should do some research to determine which types will thrive best in your climate.

You can winterize most roses and they'll reappear in the spring, however, some roses are better able to make it through the winter than others. If you've have a bad time with your roses this year, once you've wipe away your tears, start again, but this time plant roses with a better chance for survival.

If you reside in one of the tougest hardiness zones, a good choice is Albs or Rugosas, which are probably the best roses you'll find that can grow in harsher climates. This isn't surprising when you discover how popular they are in Alaska and the Canadian interior since these areas have to deal with some of the most severe winters on the continent. So consider your location and you may just find that Rugosas and Albs will work best for you.

These roses are viral fighters of the cold and will provide you with beautiful bushes with full blossoms. Some will be totally free of diseases while others can survive a few minor infestations. It's also nice to know they aren't particularly picky about the ground where they're planted. If you don't plant them in completely rose friendly soil, you'll be surprised that they often grow anyway.

Shrub roses are also hearty with their thick skinned bushes that can thrive and withstand some discomfort. They are relaible and very good at resisting diseases and will most likely get through the winter if you help them out a bit. Their frangrance is delicate coming from their bright yellow blooms.

Roses with the best reputations include the Hansa Rugosas, the Martine Frobisher Canadian Explorer and Prairie Dawn Parkland. The Hansa is a crimson Rugosas with a savory scent that can be smelled from a distance. These roses don't need a lot of attention, but of course you'll want to admire their beauty while taking care of minimal maintenance requirements.

The Prairie Dawn shrub provides a gentle scent and grows about 4 - 6 feet in width. It's also quite hardy but often steals the show and maybe some turf from your other roses, therefore, you might consider giving them a spot light of their own.

The Martin Frobisher, another strong rose plant, has just a slight fragrance but its hearty limbs fill up with highly elegant pink blooms. You can admire this one for years. This rose will definitely be seeing you in the spring.

There are quite a few other roses that will do well in the harshes of hardiness zones. Of course, you may not be able to grow the Tea Roses you wanted to, but you can still have a house full of beautiful roses. You may have to do some scouting around to find them, but tough roses are out there waiting for you to plant and love them.

If you're determined to grow tender roses in those tougher zones, you can give them a try. Perhaps you can try growing them in pots placed in warm areas, such as a heated basement. A pot should keep some of the cold out, but you'll need stay alert to when the plants should to be rescued from outdoors.

Never leave your roses to fend for themselves. You should cover them up during the winter and take care of all the task needed to successfully grow them in your hardiness zone. Hey, it's just like everything else in life, if you're nice to your roses, chances are they'll be nice to you.
