Re: hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus

I've read that tree roses need to be half dug in the fall and laid over in a trench for the winter in our zone. I've seen illustrations. This kept me from reading any further and from buying tree roses.

Another option I researched for our Patio garden when they ordered a tree rose and wanted to plant it in a pot - you can lug it into a garage for the winter.

Subject: [CHAT] hum.... who grows tree roses and tree hibiscus


A customer dropped off some plants for me today. He
brought me 2 rose tree (pink and red no names) and 2
tree hibiscus (red and orange again no names). They
are supposed to be grown in a pot on the patio
according to him and would have to be taken in for the
winters here in zone 5. Ok, know the hibiscus would,
but can't I plant the tree rose?

Comments? Suggestion of what the hey I should do with
these in the care department?

I am totally surprized by this gift to me... and
totally unprepared, but grateful non the less.
