I agree, but wonder if the potentially difficult pruning resulting from the wires being concealed by the plant growth would be worth the hassle? I deal with a weeping cherry that has such lights wrapped through it. The effect is quite pretty when lit and it hasn't hurt the tree at all, but maintenance is a real pig, trying not to cut through all those wires when I have to remove errant growth. Kim

Actually the ice will prevent the canes from drying out. Snow would provide a better winter cover, but all is not lost. In California and Florida when a freeze is expected they spray water on the strawberries to prevent damage. Meg

Hi Michelle! First off, where do you live or what zone are you in. I see that google page is in Celsius, are you in Canada? If it is at all possible you need to get the rose outside and keep it outside. ROSES ARE NOT HOUSE PLANTS!!! I know they sell these gift roses for inside but they are also meant to be disposable once they stop blooming. That way they can sell you more, lol! That's also why they stick in three or four cuttings to make the pot look fuller and have more blooms to attract buyers. But they do not have to be disposable if they are put outside where roses belong. It would actually do best planted in the ground. I would not recommend trying to separate them Some people have been successful at it but it's a very iffy proposition and you could lose them all. I would just re-pot them up into a little larger pot as a unit. Make sure your pot has good drainage holes and DO NOT put a tray under it. The water needs to be able to drain freely out the bottom. Always use a good light weight potting soil too. No top soil or garden soil, it's too heavy and won't drain well. It looks like you are going to have some rain this week so that should be plenty of water. Roses like about an inch of water per week. That's not a lot in a small pot so don't over water it. Only water it if when you stick your finger into the soil up to the second knuckle and it comes out dry. You don't say what kind of critters you're worried about but usually the worst pests are rabbits and deer. For rabbits just find a place off the ground, maybe a table top? Deer, well, they are a problem! It looks fairly healthy so I don't think you need to worry about it dying. Just give it good sunshine, water and a little fertilizer (half strength to start) and it should be fine.
