Do you think that I should plant them in pots and keep them in the shade until cooler weather in the fall? This week is going to be the warmest week so far this year. Our temps have been averaging upper 70s to lower 80s up until now. Lately, it's been raining all around us. We've mainly been getting a lot of dark clouds and windy weather, which is hard on my plants. My parents live on the outskirts of Charleston, SC, only 80 miles from me. When I left here last Wednesday pm and drove there, I found cold rain and lots of wind. When I left Charleston on Friday evening, it was raining and windy. But, upon returning to Orangeburg, the weather was dry and a little windy. People were wearing shorts, tee shirts and flip flops. I'm
about when to safely plant my roses. I don't want them to get stressed because of high temps and drying winds.
