Can long stemmed roses continue to grow new stems after they have been cut and placed in water?

How interesting, I was just thinking about this, this morning. Some plants can continue to grow after they have been cut (Philodendron), but not roses. They are essentially in shock and even with proper nutririon they will not continue to grow. If you are (or have) experienced this with roses, please let us know as you have found something that defies the natural world.
