Rose

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet but not sweet as these ROSES!!!!! They really do smell superb.
Did you know you can plant roses using a cutting from your own plant? These cuttings will shoot flowers in the short time of three weeks.

Here's how it's done:
Cut rose stem: Cut around the stem of the rose plant using a gardening knife, Don't cut the stem directly off, you just need to cut in  to about 2 cm.
Apply rooting hormone and wrap: Apply rooting hormone to the cut area. Next wrap it with coco moss or coconut fibers. Over the covered stem wrap a piece of plastic and hold the plastic in place using wrapping twigs or normal string.
Wait: In approximately 14-21 days rooting will start to appear from the stem. You will have to remove the wrapping to check for the newly grown root.
Dig and Plant: Dig a hole large enough to hold the entire root and deep enough so that the stem joint is  two inches below the soil's surface. Place the plant in position and put loss crumbly soil around the roots and secure them with your hands.
Water and observe: they take about three weeks to settle into the ground and then start blooming.
