In April or May, Chris bought me two cut roses from Central Market. They were beautiful & I put them in a glass of water on the table in the kitchen dining area. One of the faded as you would expect. The other never did! The bloom stayed nice for so long that I never threw it away - it eventually dried up, but never fell off the stem. Then, I noticed some "action" going on at the end of the stem - it looked like the stem was beginning to root. Since that time, I have kept it in water & watched with amazement as new growth and then a root system appeared. This week, a bud opened & a 1/2 size replica of the original rose bloomed in our kitchen. It smells so sweet & is just as pretty, if not smaller, than the first rose.
