All women love flowers. It's so nice to receive beautiful roses as a gift. There are hundreds of ways to extend the life of a bouquet. But the most reliable option is to replant the flowers you received as a gift. This way, the roses will delight you for years to come. I'll tell you how to grow a rose from a bouquet at home, in a potato plant. Patience is key.

It's worth noting that not every bouquet is suitable for growing roses indoors.

However, if the roses are bright, fresh, and delicately scented, they will certainly be suitable.
