Can you propagate roses from the stems in a bouquet or from the florist?
I know you can propagate from cuttings, but does that extend to say, roses I get at the florist? I found a few beautifully colored roses and was wondering if I could get them to grow into plants with a rooting hormone.
No, no, no. This will not work for two reasons.
1 – The stem has been cut from the parent plant for too long.
2 – The flower stem is not the part of the plant that is used for a rooted cutting.
If you want to root a cutting from a rose bush, you would use the soft new growth that the plant puts out in the spring and summer. You would not use a flower stem.
