Roses which are exposed to windy conditions during the winter months are especially susceptible to damage. Longer stems can sway in the wind can cause the rose to rock back forth, thus loosening the soil and the plant’s root system. Gaps can then form in the soil around the base of the rose. If water collects in the gap and freezes it can cause harm to the graft union of the rose. Pruning the longer stems by a third to a half, in fall, can prevent this common problem.
