The majestic, but slightly capricious queen of garden flowers, the rose, came to us in Russia from Ancient Rome, where winters were no colder than three degrees of heat. Therefore, in the conditions of our harsh winters, roses were doomed to death, if specialists did not come up with the idea of sheltering them.
Cold-resistant varieties of roses, such as Snow Pavement, Golden Celebration, Leonardo da Vinci, Black Magic and other park varieties and hybrids can be left without shelter for the winter, provided that the roses grow in the middle zone and in the south of Russia, their roots are covered with dry leaves or spruce, and the bushes are treated with an antiseptic and trimmed.
Heat-loving varieties of roses, which include creeping (Peace, Double Delight), hybrid tea (Blue Moon, Nicole), miniature (Baby Bunting, Cinderella) and exotic (Mainzer Fastnacht, Novalis) require not only warming of the roots, but also shelter from above or even completely buried in the ground.

Specialists recommend covering the flowers at a temperature below minus five degrees that is stable for more than seven days. The first frosts down to minus seven degrees only help the correct transition to a state of rest, harden the root system and stems of plants.
Before wintering, you need to take care of the dryness of the bushes and shelter to protect the roses from pests, mold and decay.
Climbing and park varieties may not be cut, but then their stems must be bent to the ground even before the onset of cold weather. If the stems do not bend well, it is necessary to bend them in several stages, placing them on gradually lowering supports.
Types of shelter:
- watering bushes
The roots must be covered with earth to a height of about 30 cm. Next, cover with spruce branches or cover with dry leaves. It is also possible to completely bury the plants in the ground.
- aerial view of the shelter
After you have insulated the root with dry leaves or sapwood, you need to build an air dome over the flower from plywood or plastic.
- wrapping the parts with heat-insulating material
The best structures for sheltering roses:
- frame ones
Raised roses are covered with a frame made of plastic sheets, wooden boards, old baskets, metal rods and other materials. To make a frame, it is necessary to mark out a place around the corner, form a roof from two plates or a dome, and if necessary, cover it with insulation pressed with bricks.
- A fence with an embankment
Inside the fence installed around the corner of a metal mesh, thin plywood or a cardboard box made according to the height and width of the bush, insulating material is poured - dry leaves, grass, sawdust.
- insulating cocoon
for standard high-growing varieties, the method of winding the heater is used. The roots are rolled up, and the cocoon is tied from below.
