Overwintering a Rose Topiary in New Jersey: Basement Dormancy and Spring Wake-Up

Wait for dormancy (leaf drop after hard frosts). Store in dark basement (insulated). Soil barely damp—no mold. No light needed. Spring: bring to cool bright bathroom, cut top back by one-third. After 3 frost-free days, move outside. Fertilize with Osmocote 14-14-14. Pot in 6-8 hours sun (no hot midday); keep roots cool.
