Is anyone familiar with rugosa roses? I have grown some from seeds(rose hips) and they are currently in the garden (nursery section) and are looking quite healthy about 4-5 inches tall, lots of leaves. I would like to separate them and move to another location within the next week. I wanted to know if they need special care for the winter, eg heavy mulch, or is there anything I can do to help the babies survive til spring? Thanks!

In New England (Cape Cod especially), it grows wild. I don't think Mother Nature does much to protect it from the elements. I have never tried "borrowing" a few shoots from the sandy soil where it is usually found, but, now that you mention it....!!
