Rugosa Rose

This is a Rugosa rose. I took it from a huge patch we had growing out of control in our front yard.We hacked this thing down with giant pruners and chopped the roots with an axe. We weren't gentle by any means.. A few days later I noticed some growth still, so I took this, and another one. It was late in the year, and we had abused the bush, I wasn't even sure either one would live. They both did. Today I was out looking at them...wondering what I was going to do with them.

I decided to wire this one..just for fun. :)
I think the stump might be carved next year, depending on how this looks when I take the wire off in a month or so. I hope it blooms next year. I think pink flowers will add a lot to the shape.
