If it is a fairy well rooted cutting with more than one cane and there is a little peace of wood with a "eye" that can sprout a new shoot it might survive. If the rootsystem is good, it might also sprout from the root. If it was a very new cutting chances are slim. You could also take cuttings and root your self. It costs no more than the potting soil and perhaps some rooting hormone, but rooting hormone is not really needed. Does roses in you area do well ownroot? Some roses do very well ownroot even in areas with long and cold winters. Take a cane from your rose of choice that are in full bloom or has just bloomed. The small eyes that are placed where the leafs are joint to the cane are suppose to be a bit swollen but not yet become a new shoot. The theory is that then the cane is full of energy for growth and roots more easily. Cut of the flowers / spent flowers on the top, save two or three pairs of leafs, let there be two or three eyes (where you have taken the leafs of) under the soil and three above. Stick the cane in a pot with ordinary watered potting soil and have a clear plastic bag over it, sort of a mini green house. It is best if the plastic do not touch the leafs too much, and the leafs could be trimmed a bit. Place the pot in a shady place, no direct sun at all is preferable. It works very well in june and july when the temperature is warm both day and night. Not much water is needed because of the plastic bag, but the soil must not dry. After two-three weeks the cutting will show if roots have developed. If is still looks healthy after three weeks chances are good. If the pot is not too big white new roots will stick out at the bottom of the pot. When you notice roots have formed it is time to adjust the plant to normal air. Cut of a corner of the plastic bag and let it breath a couple of days, then the other corner and then take the whole plastic bag of. When it has grown a bit it can be put in the ground. It is best to protect against the harshest hottest sun at first. Taking cuttings is very easy, just take a few and don't give up. It is not much work, the pot just stands in a shady spot and the plant does most of the work.

You will still get some. It actually takes less than the 90 - 120 days. That number is for the maturity of the plant, but you aren't planting new seeds and you already have good size vines. I have some of the smaller pumpkins (~10 lbs) and it only took them 12 days to reach their full size and turn dark green. Once they turn dark green they don't get larger they just begin turning orange and the second there is any orange on the pumpkin you can actually pick it and it will continue to turn orange. I wouldn't do that though unless there is a frost coming. I expect my pumpkins to be fully ripe in under 30 days once they form. So you should have plenty of time. Just think how long it took them to get to the size you said they were from a flower, that is all the time it will take them to reach that size again.

Mona, so sorry this is happening to you and your family. It really is frustrating beyond belief when things are so far outside of our control yet impact us so greatly. I'm afraid this kind of breakup is quite common now--I know two husbands who began online affairs with ex girlfriends via Facebook, and one of my female coworkers left her husband just last year for her ex boyfriend who reconnected with her on Facebook and then started texting, etc. In these cases, anyone could/did see signs of problems in the marriages before the online affairs started. One of the husbands who cheated, I have to say that no one could be blamed for leaving his wife--she was awful. Still, that's not the way to do it, especially with kids involved. One of the divorced spouses got remarried SIX WEEKS after the divorce was final. My friend went from being married, knowing nothing about the affair to being divorced and having her kids spend weekends with a complete stranger *and the stranger's equally unknown children* in 90 days. As for meeting that 'one special person' who is perfect for you.... my mom did that and divorced my dad to be with him. It's now 30 years later and yes, she has been blissfully married ever since. They truly are soulmates. Unfortunately for my sibs and I, our stepdad was far from being OUR soulmate, and we all left home in our midteens as a result. So, two people happy, but four people unhappy. I'm absolutely not against people who are unhappy separating and starting over, but speaking from experience, hardly anyone honestly looks at what it's doing to their kids.

Oh Golddust, I'm so very sorry. I know it's a really hard decision to make, can really tear your heart up, but when it's gotten to a certain point it really is the last act of love you can perform for your dog. I know you'll be broken up over Dubs for quite a while, I'm still having crying jags over Mason, but eventually we should both be able to look back over our wonderful memories and smile. I know it'll be really bad for a while..........I'm so sorry.
