"A rose is a rose is a rose" was written by Gertrude Stein. This quote is taken from the poem "Sacred Emily" which is from the book "Geography and Plays" written by the American writer Gertrude Stein...
Normally cut rose stems cannot be planted to produce a new rose bush. Rose cutting are normally taken from semi-hard wood (that is to say the brown stem and not the green stem)
Dry it off completely, you need to cut some stem off, place it between white paper towel, and place it in the center of a hard back, heavy type of a book and leave for 6 months.
