I have a wonderful old timey rose that smells perfectly heavenly, and will send out side shoots and for new plants. I dug up some of the side shoots... and messed up the root a bit...See the picture.. If I place this in water, do you think it migh grow more roots? I also have several cuttings from new growth that I have placed in water..

This rose came from an old homestead here in Tennessee and grows into a very large bush with arching canes. It has bazillions of roses each spring and perfumes the air like no other I have ever seen.
Here is a photo of the one I dug up today..
