& roses

Eva-everything I've ever read about roses suggests that they can take temps
that low. They are pretty tough plants even though many people think they
are hard to grow. I would not worry too much. I think about the only thing
I'd do is throw a sheet over them to give them a little extra protection. No
plastic, according to my teacher, sheets or newspaper is much better.
