from a dead looking stick
http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/t...rate-Rose.html
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. http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/t...rate-Rose.html 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. g 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. C |

I don't know the answer to that. |

I tried to get a summer time trip but never managed it. Buffalo NY was another place where the word 'cold' was applicable. |

I never saw a rose with leaves like that before

That "rose" has palmate leaves which I have never seen on a rose before. Usually they are compound. The blooms and buds sure look like roses. Does anyone know its botanical name or another common name for it? I doubt it would be cold hardy in my zone. I would like to see if there is anything like it on helpmefind.com. The only other rose I saw with very unusual leaves was what some thought might be an alba; instead of the usual five of 7 leaflets on one stem, it had several more pairs than that. I have just learned that roses may root from "sticks" if you put them in the ground when they are dormant. So when you say "stick", I assume that there are no leaves and that it was dormant when you put it in the ground. It must root easily; sometimes it helps to use rooting powder, but I guess them thar Confederate roses root like Forsythia. |
