several suggestions on the best means of providing the necessary protection for the cold months ahead in nearly all sections of ontario some type of rose protection is necessary to prevent loss during winter the degree of protection required will vary in dif ferent localities depending on temperature extremes wind intensity and snow fall kven within ihe indi vidual garden sonic roses may require more protec tion than others if they are situated in an exposed lo cation one common method is hanking the rose hushes draw the soil around the bases of the plants lo a height of several inches it is advisable to acquire ex tra soil for this procedure is drawing soil from the area around the plants may leave exposed roots after the ground is frozen it is beneficial lo add a co vering layer of strawy ma nure or leaves kvcrgrcen boughs placed over the co vering will help to trap snow which gives excel lent natural protection climbing roses also need winter protection a sug gested method is to remove the climbers from the sup ports and tie the canes to gether lay them on the ground and attach the nd to a stake cover the plants entirely with soil and add evergreen boughs as an alternative the canes may be left attached to the sup ports and wrapped in bur lap and straw or water proof paper for additional informa tion on rose care publica tion 328 hints on rose growing may be obtained
