B	Sexual Reproduction

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Rose plant is cultivated by stem cutting. This is an asexual method of reproduction. Good stems are selected and dipped in auxin hormone that promotes root formation. These stems are then planted in a medium to obtain plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vegetative propagation is a method of asexual reproduction in which plants are grown from the vegetative parts like root, stem, leaf. Plants like rose and jasmine do not produce viable seeds. So, they are grown by artificial vegetative propagation.
