Hi Doug,
Is that $20 for each or for all 4? I have just looked up rose cones and came up with this picture:

If that is indeed, what it is, it does not look anywhere enough insulation to protect any of the PS in HZ6.

Also, I have used Styrofoam Packing material for one of my basjoos last winter and that left a hole almost
exactly like the one shown in that cone, and that let enough cold air in to destroy most of the PS, despite of
a reasonable amount of additional cover of leaf mulch. So, if you use these cones with additional insulation,
make sure, you cover that hole.

Good luck,
Olaf
