[Arid_gardener] Re: Should I paint the trunk of a rose tree white?

>From "AZ1305 Rose Care in the Low Desert " , page 2, at
http://cals.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/az1305.pdf
at the 5th bullet under "Preventative Care"
"Shade the trunks of tree roses during our hot summers to prevent sunburn. 
Painting the trunk with white tree paint or covering the trunk with 
cardboard or shade cloth will also help.
