| Apparently I need to actually pay attention to the weather. Do I need to cover my roses tonight? I am new to this. |

No. They survived our winter fine so far. The only things you should worry about are any warm-weather annuals if you planted them already.
I usually prune roses in late Feb.--you're supposed to do it before they leaf out, but I've done it at this stage before, and they've been fine. |
| What about peonies? Mine are way up (12") and starting to show leaves - not just the red starter buds. I am worried about them but can't figure out how to protect them - putting something over them will snap the stems, I'd think. |
| OP here. Thanks! We just moved into the house, so i didn't get to prune before then. I haven't planted anythign else. So we should be good. Thank you for your help. |
