Container Roses

Cambridge, ON(Zone 5b)

About 2 weeks ago I bought a Quadra rose and a Prairie Joy rose from Rona for $3 each. Naturally, I haven't found a place to put them as I only bought them because of the price! Can I keep them in our shed over winter? Has anyone done this, and how did it work out?

Thanks :)

You've got two nice hardy roses there, and that might work in your zone. Isn't the idea that if the plant is hardier to two zones colder than yours, you can keep it in a pot over winter? Still if I could, I would bury the pots in the ground for the winter. Watered first. Then dig them up in the spring and plant them where you want them. Prairie Joy is an indredible bloomer. Quadra isn't too shabby either.
