With your helpful advice I think that I can root a pomegranate cutting.  The 
plants seem to do most of the work.  I am in the northern border of 
hardiness zone 7.
Although the variety of my pomegranate was not identified it was noted that 
it was hardy to -10 degrees.  It has remained in a pot but never moved 
indoors.
