Tree Roses in Zone 3 Canada: Container Culture Required

Two tree roses bloomed last year but look dead this spring in zone 3 Canada. One leafed out then died back. Winter protection was used.

Tree Roses Can't Survive Zone 3 In-Ground

The elevated graft freezes. Even with protection, the top dies.

Only Solution

• Grow in containers.
• Overwinter in unheated garage.
• Water monthly.
• Return outdoors after frost.

It's extra work, but the only way to keep tree roses in zone 3.
