Now is the time to winterize your roses
 
Fall care for hybrid tea, Grandiflora and floribunda roses. 
 
Understanding dormancy will help to determine the proper time to prune.
During dormancy, the sap has left the canes and the canes are simply empty tubes of cellulose. Pruning too early in the fall (before the sap runs back down into the roots) cuts some of the nutrients out, so you must be sure the plant is dormant before fall (winter) pruning. The only fall pruning I recommend is if the bush is very tall and the wind will whip it around in the winter. Then I recommend pruning only the very top. Winter dieback generally occurs from the end of the branches. Pruning removes the available length that can die back before reaching the ground. Pruning a semi dormant plant stimulates growth and sap flow in the pruned region.
 
To prevent disease/fungus from over wintering, clean the rose bed by removing leaves and other debris. Put the leaves in the trash. Do not add them to your composting materials because the mold spores will continue to grow in a compost pile, making your compost diseased.
 
Why cover roses in the winter?
Winter protection is essential for our climate. It serves two functions: (1) to keep the temperature of the bush high enough to prevent winter kill and (2) low enough to keep the rose dormant and prevent active growth. Covering also prevents the sun and wind from drying and withering the canes. This is the main cause of winter damage.
 
Timing is important.
Covering the rose too early is unwise as it may prevent the rose from hardening properly and will slow the onset of dormancy. Covering the rose too late may risk damage from the cold. There are several methods of protection to choose from. Cover the bed at least a foot deep with tree leaves. Do not use rose leaves. Make a mound with soil or mulch (Soil pep is great) to cover the crown at least 12 inches. Use rose collars, found in the garden center at Pinehurst, and fill them with leaves or soil pep.

Most shrub roses are much more hardy and require little fall and winter care, other than to make sure they have plenty of moisture.
