Rose Trees From Stem Roses

[Ric.ror]

Is it really possible to germinate stem roses to rose tree/bushes?
I’ve seen it being done on a click bait clip and would like to give it a try
I really like Avalanche roses but can only find them in M&S
It can’t be so easy - can it?

TIA

yes it is but its hit and miss and success rate is not high. I knew a lady many tears ago who stuck the trimmed stem of every cut rose she ever bought or was given into a special spot in her garden. She reckoned over the years she had managed to grow about 8 bushes. The other thing to remember is that many roses do better on a briar root than on their own. They grow more vigorously and are more disease resistant.
