Hurt isn't a word I would use now! One of my Babies!

And if so.how many days of it can they take,even though the day time temps are back up to almost 60*. Dbryan   Karma  My Garden Posted on Saturday, March 31, 2007 - 06:16 pm EST :    Dbryan, this time of year cold doesn't last that long so you could throw a blanket over them at night or just put them up close to the house. Just remember to uncover during the day. I had a few pots that didn't do much last year and when it came time to toss them into the Brug house, well I ran out of room! To my surprise several have come back from the roots and they were out all winter but within 3 feet of the house.

Somebody made mother nature MAD!!!!! Don Dbryan   Karma  My Garden Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 09:50 pm EST :    Dbryan, are you going to dig them up or just cover and pray for the best? A little frost and snow this time of year doesn't last long. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Dbryan  Posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2007 - 10:46 pm EST :    I think I will cover them up,low tonite is 31* high tomorrow 44*,then all heck breaks loose,rain turning to snow and 26*then I will cover up with some old quilts. It got down to 33* lastnite with no visible damage. Not sure how much cold they can take before leaf damage appears,I know a rose leaf can take 26* for a couple hours before they burn,but 40mph winds the last couple days has just about de-leafed them anyway!!!!,these are over 6ft tall brugs,and the pink beauty vareity,so will just have to see,what mother nature throws at me.
