It's Alive, My Rooted Rose

I had about given up, ready to throw out the rose

cuttings I made after my husband cut through the main 

stem to to remove it from the house.

But here it was today,

just as if it knew its fate.

You can see the new growth popping out, in 

fact, there are several all up and down the stem.

It was magnificent this year.

We had a great Spring resulting in tremendous growth.

It's a wild climber, going up two stories but unfortunately

climbing the down spout and trying to get 

beneath the siding.

The bees love it and it's oh so pretty!

I thought I would try saving it, replanting and

allowing it to grow up one of the trees at the 

edge of the woods.  

I tried sticking a cutting in a potato but it doesn't 

appear to be working, even with rooting hormone.

I put one in straight water.  Nice leaves but I can

see they are starting to fail.

This one was cut, dipped in rooting hormone and 

planted in an indoor potting soil- Success!

Now let's see if it will continue to grow!

Now, can someone tell me how to keep a misplaced

wisteria root from climbing my front siding?
