Last fall we had a serious discussion of the merits of burying pots or keeping them above ground
or in an unheated garage. I had some extras I had potted last July or so since there was no room
to plant them permanently. I elected to keep them in my garage which is unheated but does not
drop down to sub freezing. I brought them out a few times when the weather was warmish and
sunny. The pots are 17 qt with single rz's in all but one which has 3 old (close to species germanica)
rz's. 3 pots have the old antique whites and one has an 'Edith Wolford'. I may have blooms 45 days
early.
