6. So sorry for your loss!

Sun May 4, 2014, 03:32 PM

May 2014

I would be devastated if I lost my rose tree.

So, it looks like curtains for the youngster.

So sorry to keep bugging you, but what should I do?

I'm assuming that if I cut it off at ground level it will just grow back?

If I dig it out and cut it off at the root that attaches to my tree do I need to treat the open wound?

Theoretically, could I transplant that cutting?
