How can I make my roses grow some roots so I can plant them?

I have a “brown thumb” but I know I can do this, with the help of those gardeners out there in this website. I had these two roses (from a bouquet) for two weeks and I think I can make them grow roots. If so, how long do I have to wait? I just wonder if I have to use some kind of fertilizer for the water… please advice me.

    Don’t know about this, but Rose Plants are cheap, from 1.99 to 4.99 just buy one.

    Root growth hormone. you can get it at lowes or home depot.

    Miracle grow works great too.

    I have sprouted many roses by burying them in the ground, right where I wanted them to grow. If your bouquet is all stems, they might not grow into new plants… just wait and see.

    I have numerous rose bushes, and find they grow easily from wood that is one year old. Usually, a bouquet is the new growth, NOT the year old wood.

    For planting, bury a small piece that is 3 inches long, under one inch of soil. Put a few leaves on top as a mulch to keep it from drying out. Water well, once a week and in a few months, a new plant may emerge.
