The experts say not to cut anything back until all danger of frost has passed. However I couldn't stand looking at all the brown leaves so I cut back my hibiscus already.

Even with frost covers, a lot of my more vulnerable stuff got sick. Even my key lime tree which I treasure is wilting and dropping leaves.

But as Sam says, I'm not going to be a slave to covering plants. If they die out, I'll replace them with something more hardy.

BTW, knock-out roses really are frost resistant.
