Can I save my rose that has snapped in the wind?

I bought a rose with beautiful small yellow/pink flowers that had been grafted on to one stem like a standard. The stem has just completely snapped in the wind. Is there anyway I can save it? I am not concerned about it being a standard as it looked a bit odd anyway.

Cliffo's right, this does sometimes work - if its completely snapped off, use a stick as a support and strap that onto the stems with the "bandage" - last time I did this, I used an old pair of tights - looked bad, but worked.
