Other answers:
You can grow softwood plants from a cutting, using what's called a rooting hormone (Nurseries).
BUT....
a) The cutting must be freshly cut and immediately planted
b) It must be kept moist but not wet at all times
c) There should not be any flowers on the cutting
d) It seldom works with roses

I'm not aware of any method to root a single stemmed rose that doesn't already have some kind of a root on it. I think you would have much better luck if you visited a nursery that carries a nice selection of rose plants and pick one out. Then one day in the future, give one of your roses to your friend just to let them know how their gift to you has opened your eyes. But, good luck making a buying-decision because all roses of all colors are simply stunning.
If cuttings are chosen properly and at the right time, you might stand a chance of producing a plant from the cutting. However, even with a very good cutting that was preserved properly, the best chances are still only about 40% (it's more likely to not work than to work) to about only 5% (which means that, on average, you probably need to try 20 cuttings before one of them becomes a plant). So, don't get your hopes up. There used to be a good web page at I need the fabric shelves that you hang by a coat hanger hook.?
