Can I grow a rose bush from a long stem rose in a bouquet?

You sometimes can. Try it. What you need to do is get a small pot and fill it with a good well-draining potting mix. There is a product called Rootone which is sold by the box or packet. You would only need a packet. Follow the directions on it by taking your long stemmed rose and clipping the blossom off. Make sure you have the node on the stem on the piece you want to plant. Dip the bottom end in the rooting hormone, tamp the excess off and dip a pencil in the potting soil to make a small hole to place the rose in. Clip off all but one leaf. Place the rose stem in the hole and tamp the soil around it. Water gently once. You can put it in the garden under a larger plant, or keep it in the house with a small baggy over it to act like a mini green house. Each day, remove the baggy for about two hours so that you do not rot the rose. In about six to eight weeks you will have your answer If the rose stem stays put when you gently tug it, your rose has taken hold. You will have a new rose for next spring. Water it regularly but not so that it is sopping, and feed it lightly after about three months. The baggy comes off when it has taken hold and you will see new little leaves starting to grow. Of course, fresh air and sunshine are great for it; just don't let it get too dried out for any long length of time. A day or two won't hurt. In fact, most people overwater their plants you just want to keep it moist. From then on, you can follow up on how to keep roses yourself.

Long Stem Rose Bush

Whether or not the rooting will take depends on if the stems have "buds" to grow the roots from. Most roses do indeed have the capability to grow into bushes.

I wish you the best on this as I know how sentimental bushes grown from your 25 year roses could be.

many plant clippings can be put in a glass of water and withing weeks you will see roots protruding from the stem you cut from the mother plant.

however, trying to grow a bush from a rose stem would never happen.

stalks, as your stem is considered cannot grow from a cutting. Once it has been cut your rose will ultimately die. There are some plants within the rose variation that can be put into the ground and the roots may shoot out, but I can assure you, you will not get that cutting into a bush.

sorry, I myself would have loved to do that with the rose bouquets my husband has bought me as well.

"A.: Florist's roses are specially bred for greenhouse growing or growing in tropical climates, and for those long-stemmed, long-lasting flowers. These rose hybrids are not often suitable for garden growing (they are usually not hardy, and are really ugly bushes), and relatively few of them are available to purchase. There are only a a few, such as Bridal White, Antique Silk, Kardinal and Aalsmeer Gold which are both garden and florist's roses."

I have to agree with telluwat on this.. I don't think it will work.

Most floral roses are grafted onto hardy root stock. The florals have very weak root systems and usually won't survive.

Sorry.. but congratulations on 25 years!

yes you can... keep the roots in water for now, give it plety of sunlight. when the roots become more abundant, plant them in peat moss, and keep moist,, not wet, or saturated.

good luck

Hope this helps!

I also do not think that this will work though I really wish that they would.
