Or do I cut off a certain part and plant it? I have a rose bush that I love and would like to make more from it, if possible. Or do I have to just go buy a new rosebush if I want another? I would like to grow my own.

This ground cover plant shrinks away from being touched. Super cool.

I would like to put a plant on a dock in the middle of a lake. I would like a vine type plant that will grow over the sides and down onto the surface of the water. It needs to be tough and a perennial. I’m in zone 7. It will be in full sun all day….actually, full sun plus the reflection from the water. I would really like a plant that could survive a drought by sucking up water from the branches that have reached the water, saving me a trip by boat or swimming out to water the plant. I have a very large pot, so that should be an occasional event anyway. I’m primarily interested in attractive foliage, but flowers would be an added bonus. What kind of plant would you recommend for this, and why?

It has large leaves that look like raspberry leaves. The stalk has small thin stickers on it and kind of brown. It is multiplying quickly around this stalk. I live in Central Oregon. It has not developed any flowers or fruit. This is the second year growing for it. It is about 3 feet tall. Can anyone help me?
