One last shot of the blooms on my Double Delight Standard Rose Tree. It's gonna freeze tonight and that will be the end of them. I'm trying to think of a way to save them for a bit longer. Maybe wrap a blanket around it?

Sorry the picture is so bright looking. It's so gloomy out that my camera needed to use a flash and I needed to use the +brightness just to find the plant in the screen.

I've enjoyed this rose tree all summer. I bought it from Park's seed late spring sale for something like $5. It's been a treasure and enjoyed by all that come to visit. I think I'll wrap it in blanket insulation this fall and see if it will survive the winter. It's supposed to be hardy to zone 4, but around here anything can happen and I'd like to save it if I can.

Any ideas?
