Default planting a cut rose

Generally speaking florists "preserve" their cut roses with a preservative,
which would not allow the plant to grow roots. Though if you get a rose
from a florist that is not preserved, there is a ever so slight possibility
that it will grow roots and turn into a bush. It's much easier to cut a
thickened bloomed cane from an existing bush and get it to root and grow the
same type of flower the original had.

Check your cap lock, it seems to be stuck.

HI,

I HAVE HEARD FROM A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE

A
CUT ROSE FROM A FLORIST AND PLANT IT IN THE GROUND AND IT WILL GROW AND
BLOOM JUST LIKE A PLANTED POT ROSE. THIS SEEMS FAR FETCHED TO ME. HAS
ANYONE HEARD OF DOING THIS. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR IT TO WORK. JUST CURIOUS.

THANKS FOR THE INFO, ANDY
