How do you start growing a rose from a piece of stem with no apparent root showing?
Answers:
Make sure you cut off any flower or hip(the part under the flower) first. It will use up needed nutrients. If it's a very long stem, cut into 2-3" sections, preferably with a leaf section in each.Cut the bottom at an angle with a sharp knife or razor. Dip bottom end into Rootone or any other rooting compund(available at any garden center). I haven't had any luck with rooting roses in water. Mine do better in a small pot with moist sand. Good luck! PS. Most long stemmed roses are hybrids, so you may not get the same flower you started with.

Try Schultz Take Root. It's a powder that you put in the container containing the water and rose. It is available at Walmart, Lowe's, etc. for less than $5. It works on other plants, too. Leave it in the water until the roots are healthy.
