It should survive just fine.....as long as the roots are in good shape.

My Father was a Master Gardener, he once showed me how to mend a partly broken stem. He wrapped it very tightly back to where it was broken, it suppose to heal itself. I have done that several time and been successfull, even having used floral tape on small stems, or black electrical tape so water will not interfere.
