Reminds me of the rose cane that the electricians knocked over, last fall: I thought it was dead, but before frost set in, it started shooting up new leaf-clusters from the top side of the prone cane. When I noticed the new leaves, I also noticed that the cane, while knocked over, was still attached to its root-ball. So... Guess we'll see when springtime weather comes.

@ferricoxide @skeletor I choose to believe that these plants are doing it out of spite. Spite can be a powerful motivator.

This particular rose is very spiteful. I bought heavy, leather gloves specifically to work with it (it's a very thorny bastard of a plant). In spite of being marketed for especially thorny plants, this bastard's thorns frequently go through the leather. So, "yeah".
