There are various ways. Some people take a cutting thrm grow the roots in a potato, then put it into a tub later. Others coat the cut in honey and straight into the ground.


if you take a cutting from that rose and stick it into the ground yoy will get the weak root system that comes with it.

 

that is why things are being grafted to (wild) root stock. pretty flowees but weak roots so you take the top (pretty flowers) and graft it onto a strong root (usually a wild form).

 

that is the whole point of grafting.
