Without knowing the exact variety of rose you have, it is hard to speculate why they always die. Tea roses must be Minnesota tipped in ND or they will die over winter. A zone 3 hardy rose---and this could be your biggest problem----not many roses are zone 3 hardy---should survive the winter with nothing more than several inches of hay, straw or leaves over the plant. I have Winnipeg Park and My Girl rose bushes in zone 4 near Minneapolis and they survive the winter with mulch on top. They are zone 4 hardy varieties however.

I sure hope you can help me. Why won't my rose bushes take root. Every spring I usually have to dig them out because they are dead. I have tried many,many different types, and species. I have soaked them overnight,planted to a "T". I have watered,fed,sprayed,cut off the new buds and covered them for the winter. What am I doing wrong? I live in zone 3 (North Dakota) Thanks Hi!
