Topiaries are budded onto a rugosa trunk. Cutting to 8 inches severs the scion from its rootstock. The remaining trunk will sprout wild rugosa growth, not the desired variety.
Only works if both parts are fully dormant (no growth). Clean cuts, match slants, bind tightly with electrician's tape for a year. If winters are still cold and no growth, try it—but success is unlikely.
