Growing roses from stem cuttings can be a rewarding way to propagate new plants. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Select a healthy parent plant: Choose a mature rose plant that is healthy and free from diseases. Look for a stem that is green, firm, and about the thickness of a pencil.
Prepare the materials: Gather the necessary materials, including a sharp and clean pair of pruning shears, a rooting hormone (optional but recommended), a planting medium (such as a mixture of perlite and peat moss or a well-draining potting soil), a container or pot, and a clear plastic bag or a propagation dome.

Take the stem cuttings: Using the pruning shears, make a clean cut at a 45-degree angle just below a leaf node (the point where a leaf attaches to the stem). Each cutting should be around 6 to 8 inches long and have at least three to four leaf nodes.
Remove lower leaves: Strip off the leaves from the bottom one-third to one-half of the stem, leaving only a few leaves at the top. This reduces water loss and encourages root development.
Apply rooting hormone (optional): Dip the cut end of the stem into a rooting hormone powder or gel. This helps stimulate root growth and increases the chances of successful rooting.
Plant the cuttings: Fill a container or pot with the planting medium, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Make a small hole in the planting medium using a pencil or your finger. Insert the bottom end of the cutting into the hole, making sure it's deep enough to support the cutting upright.
Water the cuttings: Moisten the planting medium without making it too soggy. Water the cuttings thoroughly, allowing the excess water to drain away.
Create a mini greenhouse: Place a clear plastic bag or a propagation dome over the container to create a humid environment. This helps retain moisture and encourages root development. Make sure the plastic doesn't touch the leaves of the cutting.
Provide the right conditions: Place the container in a warm and bright location, but away from direct sunlight. Ideally, the temperature should be around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Check the moisture level regularly and mist the cuttings if they appear dry.
Monitor and wait for roots to develop: Over the next few weeks, keep an eye on the cuttings. Mist them occasionally to maintain humidity and ensure the planting medium remains moist but not waterlogged. After a few weeks, gently tug on the cuttings to check for resistance, indicating root development.

Transplant the rooted cuttings: Once the cuttings have developed a good root system, they are ready to be transplanted into individual pots or into the ground. Gradually acclimate the young plants to outdoor conditions before planting them in their permanent location.
Remember that growing roses from stem cuttings can be a hit-or-miss process, and not all cuttings will successfully root. However, with patience and care, you can increase your chances of success. Good luck with your rose propagation!
