Hybrid Teas and Floribundas are the modern roses seen everywhere these days. They are
*just* barely hardy here. Those that are grafted will have to
have the bud union protected in the winter, either by mounding
dirt around the graft or by planting the rose with the graft
several inches below ground. What ever remains exposed to the
cold and wind usually will be dead the following spring. Besides
protecting the bud union, the other tricks to making they
survive the winter are watering them throughout the winter,
and making sure they go into dormancy healthy.
