1. Cover the roses

I lost a beautiful old Mr. Lincoln rose last spring because, after an unusually warm spring, we had one unexpected cold snap.

Later I read that the young rose leaves on Mr. Lincoln were especially susceptible to frost damage. Some roses are tougher, but I wouldn't take a chance.

Good luck getting through this.
