Congrats, FlowrLady, on your rare find of two healthy Confederate Rose plants. Keep us posted with your luck on them. Just remeber to not let the first frost hit it as will most likely kill it as far "North" as you are! (LOL) Just cut it down to the ground as I explained above and cover well and you should see new growth appear the next spring. Am attaching picture of mine that was a mere 2 inch stick with only 2 leaves on it and some small roots beginning at the section when I planted it from my cutting just this past February. It is still just a "baby", but growing nicely....
