Post #3300

A few days ago, I gently pulled one of my climber's long, wayward canes in the direction I wanted to train it in. I gritted my teeth when I felt the *snap!* and saw this gorgeous long cane broken off at ground level!

I know roses can be started from softwood cuttings, but I believe it's too early for this. She has 1/2" leaf buds all over her, too! At a loss for what else to do, I stuck the broken cane's end down in the soil next to the bush. I can't recall whether zeph is on her own rootstock, either. I think it is. *sigh* Any ideas?
