Ac­ cess to area is made via Borden Street Laascape plantings need protec­ tion from the harsh conditions of winter especially winterizing evergreens and roses. Winter can be very tough on evergreens, as many residents of this area found out last year [EXTENSION! Remember all the yews and Junipers that looked rust-colored early last spring? Drying winds are the main culprit, as evergreens cannot replace water lost through their needles when the ground is frozen. In certain locations, the sun compounds the Sroblem. Although this winter-urn usually is covered by new growth during the growing season, it still is detrimental to plants. Severe winters like 1963-84 cai^ kill off evergreens entirely. What can be done to prevent wlnterburn on evergreens? For starters, avoid planting them in windy, exposed areas or sunny, dry sites along foundations. This pertains to landscape-type evergreen shrubs, such as yews, arborvitae, and junipers; rather than evergreen trees commoifly used as windbreaks, such as spruces and firs. Regardless of the type or use, all evergreens need plenty oi water right up until the ground freezes. Watering during warm spells in winter Is also helpful. Ad- burlap similar device to shield the wind. Smaller evergreens may be loosely-wrapped with burlap, especially new plantings. ' Rapidly changing temperatures and harab drying winds during winter can severly damage un­ protected roses. After roses have gone fully dormant, which is usually late November( they need, to be covered in some way for pro tection. Do not cover them too soon, however, because they may begin growing and be damaged later in winter. C o m e r c i a l l y a v a i l a b l e styrofoam rose cones are fine to use, but it is best to punch a few very small holes for air circula­ tion. Also, they need to be an­ chored well. Another way to pro­ tect roses is to put a wire screen cylinder, bushel basket with the bottom removed, or similar struc­ ture around roses and fill them with straw or leaves. ' Mounding soil around rosea is another method commonly used for winter protection. /In the McHenry County area, however, solids are usually high in clay, which will stay too wet and cause problems. Using soil for winter protection of roses is only sug­ gested for very well-drained rose beds contining soils low in clay content. PUNCH #144 McHENRY COUNTY BOARD-DISTRICT J J WILLIAM J.
