One of my Rainbow Knock Out roses grew too big for the space I had given it, so we pulled it out with the tractor, using a chain looped around the trunk. Gulp..I know, brutal. The trunk split apart. I went ahead and planted both halves, and they both grew! Then...some unnoticed roots left in the original spot grew back also!
I dug out that rose, and you guessed it, the next year, another one grew in the same spot. I left it there. It was that determined, so it earned it.
It now grows through the Amur maple tree above it, and covers the poor little Charlie Brown minis that were in front of it.
Good grief, Charlie, Brown!
