Frost damage on hybred tea roses

Question

Will my rose bushes recover after frost damage? I have too many to try and cover them each night and uncover each morning. In the past I covered with sheets and roses still got some frost damage anyway.

Answer 1

Northern gardeners also enjoy hybrid teas! You may have what we call “winter die-back” of the cane tips but typical spring pruning will remove these. If you have already done spring pruning then clip any tips that have died. Unless you have a particularly sensitive variety, frost won’t set your roses back much.
