Is it possible to prepare a rose plant for winterizing to a bare-root state such as companies do who send bare-root plants come spring? I have a Maine garden (marginally zone 5b) with little soil, so burying is a problem. Other problem is I like roses that prefer zones 6+.

I'm a new member and wish to thank all who've submitted their own photos. It shows me what colors I'm apt to see in the garden, rather than rely on potentially altered photos in catalogs. I'll send in photos too and hope others will continue to do so (it's very helpful).
