Yeah its kinda sad, I will place it up plain for all to see. Staff told me if I keep up on weeding they wont have to weed whack as often. I think its worth a shot. We do get rabbits and feral cats so it might be a good idea anyway. I think it was mistook as a weed because its so small and has no flowers.
If it lives it will be very large though Austrain coppers get big. I spent over $30 on that rose so I hope it don't die. I have another species rose of a similar price that's doing much better.
