Super new to gardening, I don't even know how this happened.
So my husband bought me a single rose 2 weeks ago. I trimmed the end, added the flower food to water, and placed it in a vase (a cleaned but pretty gin bottle). Over the last few days I realized the rose isn't dead or even wilting. I picked it up just now, and was flabbergasted to see that it looks like it has new growth coming out of the sides?? I'd love to keep the growth going or maybe plant it one day, I just don't know what to do now. Do I cut off the flower part? Do I leave it alone? Do I give it sunlight?

wow, im so jelly.
congratulations.
ive tried to deliberately grow from a rose cutting and been unsuccessful. im curious to see what advice people give.
I didn’t know that roses could continue to grow like this ! Congrats ?!🤣 I guess just let it be and keep doing what your doing. I wouldn’t cut anything just yet. If it starts forming roots then plant it in soil 🤷🏽♂️
Its from your husband’s love ❤️ congratulations
Don’t cut it. Is it putting out any roots?
You typically cut the flower off (deadhead) if you want to root a cane from a bouquet. Usually if there’s active growth on it there’s a lower chance of it forming roots as that’s where the energy is being focused.
