Growing Roses

Over Christmas my husband gave me a dozen roses.  They were a gorgeous lilac type color.  I am very lucky in that my husband quite often brings home roses for me.  I soon realized they started sprouting leaves.





So... does anybody know if they will ever grow roots and grow into plants?

 Please let me know!

 I came home to a new dozen of roses... and my growing stems were in the trash!!!  Eeeeek!!!   I pulled them out.  Yes.  I pulled out rose stems from the trash.  :)  

I cut off the ends and put them into another vase (minus a few leaves).  I added some Miracle Grow soil and some perlite to the vase.  Why not?

The stems turned black and died.

 I am not sad.  It's just it would have been kind of fun to say the plant grew from a stem.
I truly do not know what I would have done if they would have actually grown!  LOL  I have a pretty green thumb for those indoor plants, but those outdoor plants... that's a totally different story!
Ha!

  3. They sell a rooting hormone you can dip the ends into. :)

  4. Oh what a bummer. I enjoyed reading all the updates and was crossing my fingers that the roses would have a happy ending, with a new life. Well, I guess that's why roses can be so expensive -- not so easy to grow. From the looks of those stems, the original bouquet must have been real beauties!
