Gardening How to Protect roses in 20 degree weather?

I have roses that are in containers and we are expecting temperatures to drop to low 20's which is not normal for my area. Do I need ot cover them , bring then indoors or what.

Answers:

1Bringing them inside would be a temperature shock for them. Old sheets or blankets are enough to protect at that temperature. One other trick is to string christmas tree lights through them. The heat from the lights help to keep the roses warm enough and it also looks good
