Growing Hydrangeas & Roses!
My long awaited order of Bobo Hydrangea and miniature roses finally arrived today, but so did a freeze warning for the next 24-48 hours. I'm assuming I should wait to get them in the ground until the freeze warning passes. If so, any advice on where to keep them until I can plant them? Should I keep them warm in the garage?

Welcome to NGA, @Coloradolime !

Ouch, Emily... a freeze warning already?? I think I would be inclined to plant them in a very sheltered "microclimate" (maybe near the foundation of your house?) and then move them to their actual spot in your garden next spring. I hope more people will offer some advice here!

hi we dont have too much frost in uk but we do have rain!!! last year nearly rained everyday for 4 months, no temps going up to 80 that would be great, this aft we went into the hot tub its in a covered area, with doorss. keep cold and rain out, great listened to the rain while soaking plants have to very hardy here i have a greenhouse, when its full just cover up base plants to keep out rain. we have not had any snow for 3 years, but heard maybe this year
in uk annuals just die by october, you go out and buy winter bedding to replace summer bedding cheers us up
