USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).

More Information
Note: Many gardeners do their pruning in the late fall. Waiting until late winter or early spring (while the plant is still dormant) is often recommended in colder climates. Leaving the old canes standing through the winter helps trap snow, which insulates the plant's roots and provides vital moisture.
