Help! I failed to cover my rose bushes during the last freeze. Are they a lost cause this year?

Help! I failed to cover my rose bushes during the very cold weather we had earlier this month. I cut all of the dead leaves/ branches also I've started feeding every week but have not seen any new shoots. Are they a lost cause this year?

they are not... mine have half dead leaves but the nursery said that roses will survive. give it time and make sure you use the Miracle Gro rose food. it helped mine a lot!
Reply:most roses are cold hardy to -10 degrees. give them time as it takes about 4 weeks of consistently warm temps for them to flush out new growth. they should be in bloom by the end of may depending n your zone. they are heavy feeders so use a rose fertilizer usually about every 6 weeks.
Reply:In my experience roses are a lot stronger than you would think. I have 10 of them in my front yard and I never cover them, even in the winter. In the spring i prune them back and they always grow back.
