When selecting roses, always select cultivars that are able to tolerate the coldest temperatures in your area based on USDA hardiness zone maps. One of the ways to protect roses for the winter is to be sure they go completely dormant. To accomplish this, stop fertilizing early enough so growth slows down. No fertilizer should be applied after August 15. To further encourage dormancy, stop dead-heading or cutting flowers after October 1 and allow the plant to form hips. There are many methods to provide winter protection for roses.
Spraying the roses with hair spray will help to seal the roses. Place the roses in a food dehydrator for approximately 8 to 24 hours to dry and preserve the roses. When using the dehydrator, place the roses on the dehydrator racks, but do not allow the blooms to touch. The dehydrator temperature should be set to 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a few roses in your microwave, loosely covered by paper towels. Turn on the microwave for approximately one to two minutes.
