Can you replant roses that were received in a bouquet?

I received a large bouquet of roses and wanted to know if you can plant the cutting and if they will survive?

Can you replant roses that were received in a bouquet?
You would need a "greeh thumb" so to speak. I have never done it but have know a few who have. Plant it deep in the ground and keep it watered good. My mother and grandmother would say to turn a jar upside down over it. This helps keep moisture in and keeps it from drying out in the sun. You may need to break the lower leaves off so to give more energy to the rose. Plant the part where the leaves were broken off--hopefully a root will develop there. I would suggest leaving the jar on through the coming winter also even if it looks like it is going to live--for protection.


Good luck

Reply:No, sorry you cant. But if you dry them right they will look beautiful!
Reply:No...they die before you can get them to root... so they can be planted
Reply:no, flowers start to die the moment they are cut.
Reply:No. Cut roses won't take root that way. Once the stem has been cut away from the root system it's already doomed.
Reply:No, that is not possible. You need the roots to go along with the roses so you can plant that part in the ground.
Reply:Actually, you can although sometimes if a preservative is used it won't work. Planting a rosebush from a wedding bouquet has always been rather popular. My sister followed the same basic instructions listed below with a rose from her bouquet. The plant lasted longer than her marriage (7 yrs) and she left it back in California.





I would be willing to bet that none of the previous posters have even tried it.
Reply:Well that sums that up, it is a definite ...

Reply:No, sorry. Roses can be grafted to one another but you have to have living plants to do that even.
Reply:I'm pretty sure you need the roots to replant flowers and bushes.

Reply:No but you can preserve them.

  1. Actually I received some roses just recently for my birthday. All the flowers died and the leaves were brittle. I went to throw them away and noticed new growth sprouting. I cut away all the dead stems and flowers I'm going to plant it and out a jar over it and see what happened. Each stem has new growth so I'm thinking this will grow again. I have never seen this happen before!
