Harvesting/Winterizing after an early snow in October?

It's October 10th and there's already snow on the ground and I had no time to cover my plants. I have roses and vegetables; jalapenos, habenaros, and cayennes; that I'm worried about in the garden. Should I harvest the vegies now? It started getting cold a weeks ago, but I left them in the garden to ripen a bit more.
Also, I'm not sure what to do about my roses I haven't been able to cut them down yet to cover them. Will the snow hurt them? Hopefully the snow will melt soon. |

| If your peppers didn't die last night, they are going to die tonight. I don't think the fruit is any good once it has frozen. The snow isn't going to hurt your roses. I would be more worried about the predicted 22 degrees tonight. It is awfully early for such a cold night, especially after such a warm September. |
