I am not sure for your locality/bionome or weather conditions. Here in the Coastal Pacific Northwest I will be doing it again soon, since we are having an incredibly mild winter. (No hard frost even) The location is also sheltered by tall fir trees. Prim roses are a pretty hardy lot if you get the heirloom/older varieties, not so much so with the modern varieties. Good luck. FYI: They do well in sheltered areas that are damp but not wet with shade during the hottest parts of the day.
