Just like "What Limits" said---depending upon how much inertia you have in the speed, you can flare, get altitude, and sometimes even turn. It was a required maneuver to be demonstrated on a FAR 137 ride I did many years ago---an auto from 10 ft agl, with a minimum of 60kts. You only had to demonstrate to a power recovery, although it was somewhat easier to run it on.
