Hiya! I'm baaaack... For those who don't yet know, I'm happy to report I'm now working with Megan at Shane's World - and at the moment am doing my best to cover for her while she's in Phoenix. We sure do miss her around here though!
Go figure - my first post here in ages would be totally non-business related, heh. But I do so love my yardwork (what I do can hardly be classified as gardening LOL)...

Does anyone know what has to be done with ground cover? Is it, too, a "stick a cutting in the ground, apply water, etc" kind of plant...

Most of them are, that's why they're great as ground cover. You can pretty much stick a small piece (with roots attached, preferably) into the ground and water it, and within a short time it'll propagate nicely. I'd really be interested in seeing a picture of the plant you're talking about, it sounds pretty.
Roses are actually pretty difficult to kill, so don't worry about going Jason on them. I cut several that were in my yard down to the ground (TRYING to kill them), and eventually had to just dig them up completely to get rid of them (they were badly placed, and a pain in the ass).
Where are you located? If you're anywhere near my neck of the woods, perhaps we could do some trading... of plants, info, and other stuff!
Two indispensible websites for me:

Ciao for now!
