about 3 years ago a friend gave us a dead looking stick and
told us if we planted the stick in the ground and watered it
once a day for two weeks we'd get a Confederate Rose bush.
I decided to play along thinking there would be some great
future laughs concerning how I was tricked into planting a
dead looking stick.

well, the friend was not playing a joke. now I get to enjoy
taking cuttings from this bush and telling other friends how
if you plant this dead looking stick in the ground you'll get
a Confederate Rose bush.
been kind of neat watching this bush being propagated into
the yards of friends.
That is neat. I did a quick google and it isn't nearly hardy enough.
yea, Confederates don't do well up north, just look what
happened to them at Gettysburg.

Snicker! I wasn't even going to go there. I plenty of New Englanders that
have headed south, but the few southerners that came north couldn't handle
the weather.
