I was given roses for free and put them in a small glass of water from my Brita. Stems were cut diagonally to help with longevity.
This little pink shoot started forming after. Is that something I can prop? How would I attempt this?
If needed, the soil I have right now is Organic, Cactus Mix, Potting mix, tropical mix, orchid bark, and some leftover coconut coir mixed with sand

Just as a placeholder until someone who actually knows posts but to get it to root I’d be tempted to cut off the flower just above the top bud, then follow instructions for rose cuttings, something like:

If you don’t have rooting hormone powder/gel you’re supposed to be able to use willow shoots instead boiled in water to produce a solution.
I think the roots need to come from a bud though. I’ve in the past broken off the bottom bud pair in the hope that it’ll root but I’m not sure whether any of them survived. You’d hope that it would actually bud from between the leaves you’ve shown.
