I had 2 that looked dead as could be. I went to shovel one out and noticed the new growth and I am surprised how quickly they take off. What’s weird is that my wife’s apricot and cream hybrid tea stayed green the entire winter and the canes were small in width. My climber had thick canes and when I unwrapped it, the canes were black all the way down to about 3” off the ground. If your in Michigan or around it I think we got to -25 a couple of times. It was crazy cold this last winter.

I don't have pics, but the construction is pretty simple: Just a sheet of polycarbonate in between a wood frame on the inside and outside, plus some trim, handles, hinges. Sealed with silicone. In the pics, each of the 4 panels is 1 polycarbonate sheet; there are 2 polycarbonate sheets per sash and 2 sashes total. There is vertical trim covering the gap between the sheets in each sash, and another piece of vertical trim that covers the gap between the sashes (which is attached to only 1 of the sashes, so the sashes can be opened independently). There's regular household weatherstripping to block the gaps around the edges of each sash.

Tracy, I think that Mills Magic is missing a great advertising opportunity by not using your pictures for advertising. Because of your success with such a bounty , that is what I will be trying. Your Quicksilvet is absolutely glorious. I never got that many blooms all season Well done ! I used to live in Mountlake Terrace and loved the climate. I had no idea that it was such a great area for roses.

My mom grew Blue Moon for years and years, I remember it being very healthy with big fat mauve blossoms, in a cooler shade of mauve rather than warm. Your location will probably be the biggest indicator of health as disease pressure varies by climate.
