Best answer

The leaves of Bryophyllum have notches on their margins, which produce buds. When these leaves fall on the ground, the buds develop into a new plant by process of vegetative reproduction, under favourable conditions. 

The leaves of rose don’t have this property. They don’t produce any buds over them and hence cannot produce new plants by vegetative reproduction. Instead, the stems and branches of rose plant are used for the purpose.
