    Hi all,

    I've just realised that a fox or the winds this week have snapped a small rose bush plant at its base, with a bit still hanging on.

    The break is just below the stems so I'm not sure it will regrow new ones?

    The break also looks relatively old so is it too late to try and tape the plant back together?

    What's the best thing to do??

    Thanks very much,
    Shy
