Rooting a Florist's Long-Stem Rose: Low Success but Possible

Florist roses are greenhouse-grown, often treated with anti-wilt chemicals, and not garden-hardy. To try rooting:

1. Cut 1 inch off base, remove flower.
2. Use sterile rooting medium (perlite/vermiculite).
3. Rooting hormone, wound base.
4. Humidity dome (zip-bag or soda bottle).
5. Bright indirect light, mist, avoid sogginess.
6. 4–6 weeks for roots.
