I finished burying and covering my roses today; technically I should have waited a week as 3 days from now we hit solid twenties and teens weather for at least a week.
You are supposed to have a true hard freeze before covering to zap diseases and such but while I have chiseld out soil to plant late season roses, twenty years ago, besides Sharon harping on me, and the low thirty temps. today did not bother me, I just am not a good a gardener as I once was.
I wore a vest and a short sleeve shirt, if you are working, the cold does not bother you till you take a break or some dork comes out and whines about it, at that; Sharon cannot tolerate cold weather at all any more, and there were times she would tolerate double digit sub-zero in the past for hours on end.
Heading home probably Wed. to do the same to the rose garden down there and put the hose laying on the ground away, plus stack some leaf bags on the North side of the house; bags stop North wind which it faces.
