Rose Propagation with Potatoes?!

Yep...........too good to be true.  
I transplanted a rose bush from my Dad's property to mine.  The new owners planned to strip the landscaping.  That bush has moved several times.  No it is not an heirloom type of rose bush but an attempt to save it was important to me.  In case it didn't survive I wanted to try to save some cuttings to propagate.  One method I saw on Pinterest was by inserting the cutting into a potatoe.  


Within 12 hours all the cuttings looked pretty much dead.  So as neat as it sounds not everything works the way a site claims it should.
Lucky me I am trying other forms of propagation of the bush as well.
