I grabbed a stick out of the rubble pile last year, snipped it to size, &
stuck it in the ground to mark the spot of a perennial that was dying to
the ground. Lo these many months later I see that the stick has taken root
& is growing:

Minor quandry: I don't need another red rose, but it's such a heroic stick
I don't want to kill it.

Dunno if this would be the right time to put it in a pot so that at first
opportunity I can give it away.

Don't see why not Paghat, looks like it is a pretty tough customer.

Hey, Pag, have you seen the movie "Enchanted April"?
Maybe it's oleander.

My Son built a fence from trees he cut and some of the posts started to
send out shoots.

Go rent "Enchanted April." You won't be sorry.

Going out to plant some sticks....
