    Is it the whole stem Gogs?
    Could be worth trying to propagate it. [​IMG]

    Good luck with it, Gogs! :D I tried it when I had a sport on a rose a few years ago (didn't come to anything, unfortunately.....)

    Roses are much harder to root than fuchsias, as you know dendy.
    Safer to bud roses.
    By coincidence I found a tree in the woods around here today, it looks just like a goat willow, difference is its leaves are all dark red in colour.
    Needless to say, I took a few cuttings. ;)

    Ooooh a white fuchsia! I love that! I didn't know you can get white ones. I love white flowers, I will have to make a concious effort to choose colours too because I naturally gravitate towards white varieties. [​IMG]
