Laura asks…

how can you tell what zone your in for gardening?

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?

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:

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.
