# My store bought roses are sprouting! I'm tempted to attempt…

_Posted by Danibee on 2026-07-08_

My store bought roses are sprouting! I'm tempted to attempt propagating it, but have no idea how I would go about it (there's no roots). Has anyone tried this before? Any advice on how to do it?

Hmm.. i have no clue how to grow roots on rose stems. Curious to know though. 🤔🤔

Chop off the flower and keep this in a humidity dome in dirt.

I advised someone incorrectly last time and said to put it in full sun, don’t do that! That’s only when the roots are established and new growth is strong.

Thanks! I'll give that a try!

You can lay them down and cover the stems with soil to encourage rooting (don't cover the new leafy growth). You can also shave the stems near nodes (with a sterilized x-acto knife) and add a bit of rooting hormone to the shaved sections to encourage rooting.
