Stem roses are not an independent group of roses. Instead, it is a special form of breeding in which certain garden rose varieties are refined onto a parent plant - usually particularly robust wild roses. A rose stem is more at risk from frost in winter than other roses.
How can you protect standard roses in winter?
To protect trunk roses in winter, tie fir branches into the crown to cover the grafting area. Then place a jute bag or winter fleece over the crown to prevent it from drying out. Avoid plastic bags as they promote condensation and rot.
Preparing tall trees for winter
Due to their growth characteristics, standard roses are much more exposed to frost than low rose bushes; In addition, the sensitive finishing area - which is located directly under the crown - cannot be protected by piling it up. It is particularly important to protect the crown from drying out, i.e. from winter sunlight when the ground is frozen at the same time. Most roses do not freeze to death, but rather dry up when the ground is frozen hard and the roots can no longer absorb water. For optimal winter protection, tie fir branches into the crown to protect the sensitive finishing area and finally put a jute bag or a special winter fleece over it.
Tip
Do not use plastic bags! Condensation forms underneath, which in turn promotes the formation of rot.
