Follow up on winter injury to roses
Back in the spring, I wrote a BYGL alert about winter injury to roses. THANKS to everyone for their feedback and response as to what's being seen around the state. It seems that the general consensus is that all types of roses experienced major dieback with damage clear down to around four to six inches above the graft. Some lost a few roses completely but the majority of the roses have recovered nicely according to most. Winter injury reports came from all around Ohio as well as from Detroit.
It still drives me crazy to drive around town and see the old dead wood...
