The only thing that summer residents fear more than pests is the return frosts in the spring, which can harm the awakening plantings.
Some trees, fruit and ornamental shrubs may be damaged under certain conditions.
As for roses, there are some nuances. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, an agronomist and the author of the blog Conscious Gardening, explained what gardeners should take into account.
Roses and frosts
This ornamental plant is considered capricious. There are a number of conditions that must be met for lush flowering and healthy development of bushes.
Due to the demanding nature of roses, it has become common knowledge that it is necessary to prepare shelter for roses in the spring if the weather forecast warns of recurrent frosts.
But the agronomist noted that there is no need to cover roses in the spring. These plants can withstand short-term temperature drops.
What temperature is safe
Roses can easily withstand short-term temperature drops to -10 °C, and some varieties are not afraid of -15 °C.
