As in dead. It's the only one of the S&W Greenhouse bare roots that
died. It looked bad for a while, same as a few others, then sprouted
one small green cane. Next thing I knew the latter had died. Now it is
just sticks. I would normally think I did not keep it moist enough,
but with the rain we have been having I may just have proven that they
can actually drown.

I'm missing something great, aren't I?

Bummer. I can't show you what, exactlly, because the color is
unphotographable, at least thus far. It's not a diva, but as an
overgrown floribunda-type, it is good - dark fuchsia agin to poiple.
Always has two or three sprays on it. Got your receipts? Mine are all
lost, permanently.
