Should you Grow Roses from a Bouquet?

Before you grow roses from a bouquet, I'd like you to consider other sources of cuttings for your propagation. I'm not saying it can't be done - it can! And I've made a tutorial on the process: https://youtu.be/gROmGmbJYeU
The problem is that the source of cuttings determines your success - a store bought bouquet rose (because it was grown fast) may have little or no suitable wood for the semi-hardwood propagation process. It also will most likely be a florist variety - which often don't perform well in outdoor temperate gardens. Maybe your best alternate source would be well-grown (and named variety) roses from your own garden, but if you don't have those available, I'll suggest some alternatives in this video.

If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:
