Can a cut rose be planted and grow? I have 1 that has started growing leaves and a branch on it.?

If I were to plant it outside would it grow, or die? And if I did plant it outside do I need to cut off the top dead rose? Its just 1 stem.

Hey Laurie,





This is how cuttings are taken, usually minus the rose. The rose takes a lot of energy from the growth process. You can start rose plants that way though. They will eventually root in the water, and you can in turn, plant that cutting. This may cause the plant to revert to it's original type, since you probably took it from a grafted rose plant.





The first three sites include steps, tips, and methods for propagating roses from cuttings. The last includes grafting and rootstock.





Happy Rose Gardening
Reply:A cut flower can never grow into a plant, it will die once it dries off,only cut stems can grow into a new plant n tht can give u lots of new rose flowers.
Reply:Roses are incredibly resilient. There is not guarantee that any of this will work, but the plant will often grow. I would not cut the top dead rose off yet. Next year when the plant is stronger you will need to prune off the roses that don't look right, but this year let it grow and heal itself.
Reply:You sure can. Make sure before planting it outdoors that it has a good root system and all danger of freezing weather or frost is past.


Remove the dead rose NOW! it is slowing down the growth of the roots.


It's called propogation by cuttings.

When Martha Stewart makes cuttings of roses she puts them in a pot of sand to take root.

get some soiless planting mix and rooting hormone and plop it in and watch it carefully.It is obviously trying to grow so help it along


You may just get a new rose-bush
Reply:If the conditions are right there is no reason why it should not grow. As to the quality of blooms, if any, you would have to wait and watch. I once had a cut rose root and grow - I got it in a bouquet and stuck the stem in a pot as support for another small plant ! However even though it grew about 2 feet, it died of 'die back' thereafter. Mind you, roses dont grow that well here in Mumbai to start with, neither am I a rose grower, I much prefer other plants, so just because my rooted cutting died does not mean anything. Do post your results, it would be interesting to know.
Reply:Go to the local nursery and get "Rooting Hormone". make a clean cut on the bottom of the stem and put this powder on it. Set it in a cup with wet peat moss in the bottom and keep it moist and in the dark. After a few days it should start developing roots. You can then transfer it to a pot and then outside.


Not guaranteed to work, but this is the way to go about rooting a clipping.
Reply:Here's a link from the American Rose society that gives several methods of rooting roses from a flower (cutting). If your rose already has growth without you doing anything special, it might a species with a strong chance of propagation.
Reply:I have seen roses that will send out a side shoot and have people tell that they planted it and produced a new plant. Most forced roses use up all their energy in flower production. You can try to cut the stem down close to where the shoot is, dip it in rootone and plant it in well-drained moist soil. You will need to maintain a moist and humid environment for anything to happen. Can't guarantee that anything will happen but it might be a fun experiment.
Reply:roses are grown in soil too after getting roots, dont cut dead flower as it withers away, if u want to plant it outside,dont disturb the soil surrounding the roots.
