How to Propagate Roses with a Glass of Water: They will bloom within a few days

Another method involves pairing a rose cutting with an aloe vera cutting. Place the rose cutting directly into the aloe vera cutting and plant it in a jar with a layer of expanded clay and soil. The aloe acts as a container, preventing excess moisture absorption from the surrounding gel, promoting rooting. Keep the cutting hydrated with a water-filled spray bottle.

For the third and best method, clean a twig and place it in a half-cut bottle filled with water. To add fragrance, include a few drops of essential oil in the water. After a week, the twig will begin to sprout.
