I always thought that Roses would shed their leaves in winter, but we
had one of the dwarf pot grown ones from Teaco in October, I put it
outside late November, and despite the very heavy frosts, and being
under several inches of snow it still has all its leaves, no sign of
dammage.

Many plants are conditionally evergreen, and drop their leaves only
in severe winters: privet, Japanese honeysuckle and some roses are
among them. Some do that only at -15 or -20 Celsius.

Most of the wichuriana and sempervirens type ramblers keep theirs not
always a good thing as it helps disease survive from one year to the next

We thought the Rosa Banksiae lutescens was holding onto its leaves but
it's lost the vast majority of them which is unusual. However, leaf
buds are forming again already. Rosa Banksiae lutea has lost all of
them but it usually loses a few. However, it's not at all unusual to
see flower buds beginning to form on that one in January and there's no
sign of that this year though, again, leaf buds are developing. The C.
rehderiana is looking very forlorn, Charlie but it did last year and
then flowered magnificently so we're hoping for a repeat performance
this year, too.
