Can you grow roses from a long stem rose?

Can you root long stem roses from the florist?
A: It’s possible, but don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t work. You can try to root the stems/cuttings in a container of good potting soil and sand or in the ground. If you prefer the ground, use a hoe handle to make the hole; then insert the stem and add sand.
What is a good substitute for rooting hormone?
A teaspoon of vinegar in 5 to 6 cups (1.2-1.4 L.) of water is enough. Any type of apple cider vinegar at your local supermarket is fine. To use your homemade rooting hormone, dip the bottom of the cutting in the solution before “sticking” the cutting in rooting medium.
Does cinnamon work as rooting hormone?
Cinnamon as a rooting agent is as useful as willow water or hormone rooting powder.

Plant the stems in fresh potting soil.
