top Buying Rose Trees — Grow One at Home in a Glass of Water with These Simple Steps

  • Remove the lower leaves—leave a few at the top.

  • Optional: Dip the cut end into rooting hormone.

  • Rest the cutting for 15 minutes to let the base dry slightly before placing in water.

  • Always keep the cut end submerged.

  • Avoid using cold or chlorinated tap water.
