Are you in Northern Sweden?

Hi John.
No I'm in the mid west parts. When the wind comes from south west (Dominating wind in summertime) it's coastal climat with rain not snow. But when it turns and comes from the north east it's inland climat with temp. down to -32*C (-25*F).
So it's a natural selection of my plants every winter  :D...Magnolias goes really good here so does most of the perennials...Rhodos. and other evergreen plants can really struggle winters like this...Think i lost between 50-60 a few years ago in one winter....but they have been replaced like the true optimist i am gardening in the end of the woods  :) //Jonny
Before I speak, I have something important to say "Groucho Marx"

jonny - I'd be interested to hear which hardy rhodos you lost in that winter.  I have a friend north of Toronto who is colder than you and he has a good collection of rhodos, many are brachycarpum hybrids but he even has a few evergreen azaleas.
