Last winter was ok because I had put up a canopy that cut off half of the height of the greenhouse and kept all the heat down low, but this year, my 'Rose' grew so much that it is impossible to put up a canopy and it would not even help that much it would be up so high. Last season the 'Rose' only reached about 6ft with the pot and leaves and all, but after this summer its easily pushin 15ft with the leaves and all. We're having enough snow that Im building a wall of packed snow around the outside of the greenhouse to help insulate it, I guess I'll also have to turn up the little space heater on the chilly nights!

But at the very least if it does freeze I'll get a really good idea of cold tolerance on some these guys (especially 'Cali Gold' and yunnanensis).
