Help! Expecting a 40-50 degree temperature drop tonight! [View all]

We're supposed to be getting a huge snow storm tomorrow. It's about 60 and breezy out now, it's expected to drop to 9 (!) degrees tonight. Of course a lot of bulbs have already started coming up, and both my rose bushes and flowering shrubs have started leafing out.

I covered most of my perennials that also started greening up, but I'm very worried about the larger plants/stays of bulbs - particularly my iris field I planted last fall coming up for the first time now.

Should I try to cover my roses? How about my iris field?
