to plant a certain type of roses, i’m told i need to be in zone six. i live in southern ontario. what zone is that?
GardenersCardiff answers:
It is pretty easy to do…
Browse over to this website, and enter in your zip code:
http://www.garden.org/zipzone/
It will tell you what zone you live in.
It looks like you live in Canada though, so in that case go to this website and it has zone maps specifically for Canada:
http://sis.agr.gc.ca/cansis/nsdb/climate/hardiness/intro.html
Lastly here is the URL of a gardening enthusiast who also lives (and gardens) in Southern Ontario. He has identified that you are in zone 5.

Ken asks…
Why is Halifax NS half a gardening zone milder than Kingston Ontario?
Rhodos will grow in Halifax but not in Kingston, Ontario. Southern Ontario seems milder than Halifax yet Halifax is doomed to be half a gardening zone better.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Probably because Halifax and NS is situated close to the Gulf Stream.
May be the soil pH is incapable of supporting Rhododendrons.
They being an ericacious plant require acidic soils, below a pH4.
As I am located in Old Scotia [Scotland] I do not have any real experience on Ontario soils or climate.
Daniel asks…
I live in Gardening Zone 5. Can you tell me the best time to trim my cedars?
GardenersCardiff answers:
The only time I wouldn’t is from about Aug. 1st. – Christmas. Any other time is fine. They will store winter hardiness by processes going on in the foliage in late summer- fall. Also, pruning encourages carbohydrates upward into the top of the plant. Plants going into winter need to be moving carbohydrates downward into the roots.
