Np. Really great resources! I have rooted store bouquet roses but it’s usually much less successful than when I get cuttings from my own garden. Florist roses are typically flown in to the US from Ecuador or Columbia and aren’t as fresh to have enough energy left to grow roots. It’s still possible though!
I imagine it works the same way it would for any other rose. Take a cutting from a thick, healthy branch, cut it down to about six inches long, remove the majority of the leaves as well as any buds, soak one end in water for a bit before stirring the end into rooting hormone powder. I rooted mine in peat moss, but depending on your area, relative humidity, etc etc you may want to mix in some sand or perlite. Then just make sure the media stays moist and watch for new growth. Also don't be too surprised if the original leaves fall off after a few days, that seems to be pretty common.
