no they are not the same kind of rose.. there are so many.. from small bushes to climbing roses.. go to the nursery and get yourself a good long stem rose.. hybrid tea.. I will also read about the fragrance.. surprisingly.. some roses don't have much of a smell.. all the information will be on the rose container or ask for help.. there is also a ton of info on the web.. good luck..

You can do it, it just is not easily done.
Make sure that your soil is good for roses. If it is not give it what it needs to be good for roses.
YOu can check your soil at the agricultural Agent for the county.
After you have all that in line, what you have to do is to limit the light (sun) getting to the roses. What I would do would be to build a frame over which you can put a cover, jsut over the tops of the bushes, but high enough to get the long stems. I would use a layer or two of common cheese cloth. That will limit the amount of light and the rose stems will seek out light, thus they will grow long. They need light, you are just making them find it. The cheese cloth much have some sunlight coming through it.

The best roses for long stems are Hybrid Tea roses. Look for them at your local nursery. The new selection will come into stores late December and January(at least here in SoCal).

There are two broad categories of roses: shrub roses and hybrid tea roses. The latter are the "long-stemmed" roses you are looking for. They are available in a wide array of colors, but don't expect them to be fragrant like the shrub roses. They are also not very cold-tolerant. You don't say where you live, but if you are in zone 4 or 5, they will not winter over. Look for them in your local nursery in spring.

Ya, I think so it's just they cut the stems longer maybe. Then they are easier to root or grapht onto another rose bush. Mostly they are just seen as more romantic though. As well as tending to be a bit pricier. It will take the bush longer to grow back so the distributer must offset this....
