Back for an update. I hate to ask a question and get such great helpful input and do not return and report the results.
So from what I see it looks pretty good. What I did was. Removed them from the large brick planters and put them in nursery pots. The pots were then put in styrofoam coolers and packed with pieces of styrofoam around the pots inside the coolers. I then used the lids from the coolers to build a higher container so the limbs were protected from the wind. On top of the pots was pine needles. Lots and lots of pine needles. I gather about 30 bags in my yard in a month.
I placed these against the sunroom wall outside. They ended up looking like outdoor porta potties. The area is a corner wall one side has the dryer vent and the other side has the heat from the back of the sunroom. So the air around that area was probably 15- 20 degrees higher through the winter.
I was not concerned as much that the Carpet Rose and the Drift rose would do good but I was more concerned with Mr Lincoln and the 2 pots of Pinata roses.
So here go. I know they are nothing special but I so enjoyed them on the patio last year I wanted to create the same design this year. A couple of cheap nothing special roses work for this situation.
Drift rose and carpet rose
Mr. Lincoln not sure.
Pinata Looks good. Pushing out a lot of new growth.
