Thank goodness I managed to get the roses mounded 2 weeks ago, while the temperatures were still quite warm, since we had a big snow storm and the temperature dropped big time. I like to wait until the night temps are consistently -10ºC or 14ºF before I mound peat moss...less likely to get the little critters munching on the roses.

Although it is very sunny, it is extremely cold out.

Currently -18ºC or 0ºF
Windchill: -30ºC or -22ºF
Low tonight of -27ºC or -17ºF

Here a picture, taken today, of all the roses in the veggie garden.
