View by Zone Hardiness
The above links will display roses appropriate for your US Department of Agriculture Zone. If you are not sure what your zone is,
click here to look up your zone on the USDA map. The
coldest Zone in which it is possible to grow roses at
all is Zone 3. Please note that, while the zone
ranges given on each individual rose page for that
variety are helpful for finding roses appropriate
to
your area, they are not a guarantee of hardiness.
Occasionally any zone may experience weather outside
its normal range. Colder zone gardeners sometimes
extend their range of choices by experimenting with
various types of winter protection methods and devices
and by making good use of any warmer microclimates in
their gardens such as a wind protected south wall. For
Zones 3-5, we recommend planting into the ground just
as soon as freeze danger is past. The good news is
that roses on their own roots often will often
regenerate if frozen to the ground. Feel free to email
if you have any questions about the hardiness of a
rose your are considering. Our guarantees do not
apply to winter survival.
We have not included Zone 7 and warmer zones in our
drop down searches below because most varieties may
be grown in those zones. In Zone 7 the
microclimates of the garden need to be taken into
consideration in order to grow more tender varieties.
Also, when pushing zone limits, one needs to remember
that a West Coast Zone usually has less extreme
weather than the same East Coast Zone, and, certainly,
than the same Central Zone. Other considerations, not
covered here, have to do with limitations for
extremely southern climates on growing some of the
antiques that require a period of winter chill to
flower well. If you live in an extreme southern zone
and are concerned about having enough chill for
flowering, send us an email at
info@roguevalleyroses.com.
Fall Planting
Fall planting is a good thing to do in Zones 7 and warmer. An exception is that we do not recommend planting the Teas, Noisettes, and Chinas after mid summer in Zones 7 and 8a. If you prefer delayed shipping, we will overwinter your order and ship in the spring on the date you specify. Bands and 1 gallon plants can also be potted into 5 gallon or larger pots for overwintering in Zone 7 and up. Colder zones may require taking roses into a cold garage for a brief time during hard freezes.
Our gardens are open to the public on Wednesdays from 2:00 to 6:00
Call or email us for directions or for an appointment to visit at another time.
