Do rose bushes survive in the snow?

I am thinking of planting some this month and we are fairly new in the snow area. It would be nice if it came back every year.
Do rose bushes survive in the snow?
There are so many rose bushes here in Iowa. It snows so much here every year and those bushes comes right back every year. I have a bunch at my house. Maybe I can even cut a few branches off for you. These branches can be grown into bigger bushes.

Reply:Snow helps to protect their roots from extreme cold, it acts as insulation. A very cold dry winter is actually more of a challenge for a plant.
Reply:Of course. There are plenty of Rose Gardens here in NE Pennsylvania.

They are a perennial after all.
Reply:in snow the leaves will go but if it is matured plant the leaves will come again and bloom
Reply:I don't get much snow here in West Texas but every three years or so we do. Roses are very hardy once established. Mine go through 105 degree heat to 5 degrees below zero. They never lose their leaves entirely, just don't bloom during the cold months. Right now they look great with all of the new leaves coming on. You will love them. They also come in so many wonderful colors and I have JFK which is a white rose with a very strong, lovely scent.
Reply:only if the ground and the roots don't freeze
Reply:Sure. I live in Michigan, and lots of people have rose bushes, and they come back year after year.
Reply:no they don't because the snow could freeze the root
