: HELP! Two years ago I lost one of my roses, so I pulled the roots out and discarded it. To my suprise, I found a brand new baby rose this morning! Should I lift it out and keep it indoors in a pot over winter or leave it alone? It's SO little!

: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Peekay,
If it has survived up till now outdoors, I would say to leave it alone. You don't say your zone, but if you are in zone 5 or lower, you might want to cover it with leaves for the winter to protect the canes.
