Answers:
The problem with trying to get growth out of a rose is that often, the rootstock is a completely different variety from the blooming portion. Roses are routinely grafted, with growers putting a good flower on an unspectacular but sturdy root stock. You'll get a rose if you allow the roots to develop new canes, but it's highly unlikely that it will be the rose you had before.
If you have portions of the rose canes that are as much as a foot long (give or take), you can probalby root them using a rooting hormone that you can get at a nursery. Make a fresh cut in the bottom of the cane(s) straight across; make another cut at the top of the canes at a slant; this is to keep the tops and the bottoms straight; the best canes are about the thickness of a pencil. Prepare a one-gallon container of good potting soil (do NOT use garden soil - too many potentially harmful microorganisms); it should be slightly moist, but not wet. Dip the bottom end of the cane into the rooting powder, and push the end into the soil. Firm the soil around the cane, and then set it aside. Keep the soil moist (once again, NOT wet), and in a few months, you should have rooted cuttings ready to put outside. Be patient, because it takes time, but you CAN root roses!
Yes maybe the crazy Gardner's here hacked ours with a weed whacker! Now in that spot I have a hybrid tea rose after a year
