Thanks so much for this video! We had been given seeds in memory of a loved one and the conventional growing instructions just weren’t working! Now I have 2 little rose plants thanks to this video :)
I'm glad I found your video. I had no idea that rose seeds took so long to sprout. I have about 50 seeds in the fridge that have been there for a month. I can already see a difference. Im excited to see how many plants I get out of them.
The world could use more people like you, giving some of your time to help spread your wealth of knowledge and experience you've gained in life to help others be able to learn and enjoy . I am planning to start the process tomorrow. I'd like to check back here to share my experience and to also show appreciation 👍
Wow it did work but mine took 6 months in the fridge before it germinated Oct to April. Now i just hope and pray they grow once I put the germinated seeds in their 1st tiny home. Thank you very much for sharing how to grow them from seedlings. Mine came from a yellow rose.
Squeeee! I have five little tiny rose plants! I winter sowed some and they all sprouted! I can’t thank you enough. I can hardly wait to see what colors they become!
I’ve never done this and the video just started, but you don’t know yet what they flowers are like? Are any still with us? Hope it went well and I loved the little squeak at the beginning of your comment.
Wow. I didn’t know roses had such a process to start growing. And I didn’t know it took that long to grow! That’s crazy. Right now I’m growing sunflowers. One day I might do roses
I'm attempting this for the first time and found your videos quite helpful - they are well-paced and provide clear instructions on what to do. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making these!
Thanks for your video explaining how to grow rose from seeds. My husband picked up the rose hip from a park garden (orange looking kind, don’t know the name of the rose bush). Should I wait till November to stratification them in the fridge or I can do it now? It is Oct 17 in MD. Our spring starts about 3rd week in March. Thanks.
I just moved into a house on a beautiful lot and I noticed ripening rose hips on bushes around the house. I'm going to use your video to hopefully grow more! :)
My first group of rose seeds that I stratified started sprouting! There are a few more left, but wanted them to sprout a little more. The others I put in small peat pot trays so I can get at least first leaves. Not even a week and they started to grow rather quickly. I just have to find room once they get a little bigger and then transplant them into plastic planters that you use. Nothing yet from my other group of seeds, but at least got some using the methods you provided.
A lot to go through, I will try it, but I rather pay the gardeners what they deserve to buy a mature plant instead. Thank you Jason for explaining step by step, you are the best!
@@rockybernard2997 Yes! And they also trial the plants for growth characteristics, disease resistance, and performance in a variety of different climates. It can be many years before a "winner" is brought to market. Amazing, isn't it?
Thanks for this video.. I have been keeping seeds in the fridge in a paper towel and popped them into potting soil after a good 3 months. They then Took 3 months plus to germinate . Never thought of doing it this way. Thank you again. Going to give it a bash.
Love your video! Collected 2 bottle shaped hips from a ? Species rose growing in a state park here in Vermont. I plan to try your method. It was growing in the shade, in the mountains, on the side of a ditch but had obviously bloomed💪. That’s a rose worth having whatever it is.
Hi thankyou for the video... I admired a rose bush over a garden fence for a good few years now and I never saw the owner to ask what it is .. the colour is a beautiful deep pink cerise... And the frangrace is devine... I longed for this rose 🌹...then last autumn a hip fell over the fence and I couldn't believe my eyes! So .. I have it in the fridge and I'm going to see to it very soon!! Thankyou from England 🙏🌹
On spot advice here. Thank you. But i believe that the stratification time can be shortened to 3 weeks if you take the risk of loosing some of your seeds.
I appreciate so much how you say the year and sometimes even the month when you are doing the videos especially now since the publish dates aren't being shown. I don't know why RUclips started doing that but it is annoying to me especially plant videos when people say it's time to plant now and there is no date when video was published. I usually go through the comments and see oldest comment date and sort of get an idea but it really is bad when the video creator has a contest or other promotion they talk about and come to find out it was years before and no longer an event they do.
Pretty cool! I forgot my rose seeds this year. I did however germinate some seeds from trees. Those are doing fine. Some already came up. The rest i need to plant them ASAP or its to late.... Nice video!
Sure. Be sure to have them out from the rose hip and just covered in some potting soil, sand or vermiculite to maintain some moisture. The only other thing about outside is critters (bird, mice, etc) can mess with your seed tray. I like the fridge so I can be sure about my results, but outside is fine too.
Thanks. I do cuttings mostly, because it maintains the exceptional genetic qualities of the donor plant. Any time you propagate from seed, there's variability in the offspring. I don'd mind that for the species roses (R. rugosa, R. glauca, etc.) but for named varieties, cuttings are the way to go.
Thanks a lot for the detailed video, all the germination process was a lot to retain when I read it. But watching it here in steps really helps us understand it a lot better. I’m trying it now!
Hey Jason... Great stuff mate! I'm down in the far reaches of the world in Tasmania watching this on a Sunday afternoon ... I have the rose bug too and I'm afraid there's no remedy!! I had my first success of sprouting stratified lilac seeds this year for the first time.. so hearing about the rose seed process gives me hope of success. Your video is just a textbook RUclips video. Looking forward to seeing more progress videos from your tutorials. One question- not sure if you have any thoughts on this one- When looking at a rose plant do you think that the size of the rose hips indicates a potential cross pollinated rose...on the beautiful rose I plucked the hips from, most hips were a similar size, but there were just two that were almost double the size...?
Thanks Loko. I hadn't considered the size of the rose hips as an indication of the pollen parent, and now you've got me wondering. I'll have to check the rose hybridizer's forum to see if they've got the answer.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Cool! Thanks a lot. Please post some more update vids when you can. Always worth a watch. Cheers and happy rose-ing... haha if that's a thing.. :)
First off you have done a great presentation on this video. I have bought some blue dragon roses and some ocean wave roses. I bought them off Etsy. Do you know anything about these hybrids?
Hi William. Thank you! Sadly, a lot of the "rare" rose seed varieties sold on E-Bay, Amazon and Etsy are marketed with photoshop fake pictures. If any clear shade of blue is involved, you can be sure it isn't true. Here's a vid I did on the topic: ruclips.net/video/dcvegffDFXs/видео.html They may still germinate, but are likely the plain pink or white rugosa rose.
You mentioned soaking seeds from a previous year, could you elaborate on that more? I have a rose bush in my yard of the place I am renting and it has seed pods from last year. How long should I soak them before trying to stratify them? P. S. Hello from Squamish.
I usually soak for 1 day (2 is fine as well) - then stratify for 8 to 12 wks. Nice to hear from you in Squamish - I'll be up there to visit your local garden club on the 17th.
I found your video very informative, and as i'm no real "Green Thumb" i'm going to try your methods, especially your other video! Thank You for sharing this valuable information! :)
The frame at 9:58 has two sprouting tupperware containers and the one on the right seems to have white powder sprinkled on the top. What is the white powder?
Hi Dottie. Both tupperware containers have white plastic tags with the variety name - the one on the right is buried a bit in vermiculite, making it look like a white powder. Thanks for watching!
I am trying raising roses for the first time from seed this year (2021). I followed your video and hope by the end of April to see some germination. I used a couple of containers to help spread out the number of seeds that I had, and put them in the frig. I am expecting a couple other kind of rose seeds in the next couple of weeks and will set them up the same way.
One trick for moistening large batches of vermiculite is the "pudding method," where you fill up a burlap sack with vermiculite, cinch it closed with a cord, and dunk the whole thing in a drum of water for 20 minutes. Then you pull it out, tie a rope to it and swing it around to get the excess water out. Make sure your knots are tied tight, otherwise the whole thing might go flying and smash into something!
I am going to attempt to have a go, just to try for my own garden, if it is possible your comments will give me more confidence in doing so, all the best from kieron
At 8:26 were these germinated seeds straight from the fridge? Or had they been sitting outside the fridge for a while? And at 9:00 what is that soil medium? Also are the seedlings watered after transplanting?
I cross bred two different kinds of roses for the first time, hopefully i will be able to get the process started this fall or early winter for the seedlings if the crosspolination works, thanks for the video
Hi, I thought your video was very informative, and thank you. I do have a few questions. When the seedling is in the refrigerator and covered in that Tupperware container do you water it again, after a few days or a week? What did you have in the pot when you transferred the germinated seeds into? It looked like moss? And do you water that? and how often? Thanks again looking forward to your advice.
I don't add much water to the seeds while chilling. I check them every couple of weeks, but they rarely need additional moisture. Once transplanted (I think in this video I was using a composted bark/wood fiber mix) you can check for water every couple of days.
Well the seeds have been in the fridge in a zip lock bag, on paper towel for 3 moths. They've slowly increased in size and some have started to change colour. Zero germination(no root sprouts). Normally I would put the seeds on top of the fridge where it is warm and they start to sprout. But these are my first rose seeds so I can put them in seed pots with either some seed raising mix or some left over rose potting mix. 🤞Here's hopping.
Hi Jason, thank you for the video. been binge watching your channel. Anyway, pardon my ignorance, but do you wet the soil where you put your germinated seeds? I don't have green house, can I just cover the seedling trays with bottles or containers? Or just leave them out under direct sunlight? Thanks heaps!
Thanks and best of luck with your rose growing. I probably should tell you in advance that the seeds sold online are not likely to look like the pictures in the listing (more likely they'll just be pink or white) but I wish you success just the same.
QUESTION: What was the soil type you planted the seedings in? Is there a special kind to use? Thank you for your information. I am for sure going to be trying your method with my rose hips. :) Hapoy Growing ~Shaina~
Hey Jason, I’m just so interested in growing plants this year and I’m just starting this process but I have some questions.... 1. Is it a must to use the vermiculite or perlite to grow the seeds or can you use soils like potting soil or nursery starting soil? 2. Once you put your seeds in the fridge after planting how many times to you water the seeds or no watering at all. Thank you
You can use potting soil no problem - just try to make it not too damp. Just moist enough for the seeds to "feel" it. You can check every couple of weeks if you want, but I find that in a sealed container or bag, the medium remains wet enough without supplemental watering.
I just said "fuck it, this year I wanna grow roses" and bought seeds without thinking. I'm glad this video exists so I know what to do when they arrive lol.
Hello, is this process applicable to all kinds of rose seeds? Would you know if roses from tropical countries (only rainy and sunny seasons) grow with this process? I watched this video twice already by the way. 🤣
Very informative and helpful video thanks so much! I have a few rose seeds coming to me and I wasn’t sure how long they would take to get going. Thankfully I now know that I have time! As I don’t have any space set up for them to be planted in just yet, only planned space) but after a year or two that space will certainly be ready and so will the roses! Long term plan and hopefully some extras to gift 😊
Hi Jason. I am just venturing into roses. I am particularly interested in roses that are native to the U.S. (I live in Mississippi). I ordered some seeds of Rosa virginiana. I was just wondering if you had experience with that species, or other native species, and whether in your experience there are any significant differences between native and cultivated species in terms of how one should go about raising them from seed. Thanks!
I have a seedling from a mini rose bush that I planted, from seed, in early May, and it's now the end of June. It has 1 bud on it, but not tons of leafy growth. Is that normal?
Thank you for your amazing video! We made this our science project for homeschooling, so sad I can’t add pics here. Looking forward what happens in a couple of months!
I see no harm in trying. Species roses can be difficult to get crosses from (because they may have different chromosome counts than modern hybrids) - but sometimes they'll find a way to hybridize anyway.
Hi Troy. Cuttings by far. I only use seed prop for a few of the species roses (rugosa, rubrifolia, spinosissima) for sale, where doing large batches makes financial sense. The techniques will be handy if I can squeeze out some time to attempt breeding roses.
I planted sev seeds only about 5 came up but when they got about 3 in they fell over now all have died but 1. I put it in potting soil a lil deeper but its not doing good. I was so excited when they first came up.
I never grew rose seeds before and was just only growing fruits and vegetables from seeds and I figured I had to just switch it up to growing flowers. I normally soak the seeds for 20 hrs in potassium nitrate before I plant my pepper seeds. I wonder if this method will work for flower seeds? I am thinking of growing them for everyone including me just for fun under a 600-2000 watt blue/red grow light. I wonder if there’s a way to germinate the rose seed in less than 3 weeks like in 2 week or less which ever is the best method for you. Thanks 🙏🏼 to the Fraser Valley Farm and Others!! ❤️😁
thanks so much i have had great success with your method just one question , as i am in South Africa my small plants are only around 3 month old and we are now @ the start of spring and they want to start flowering so should i leave them or break the buds off?
I'd probably let them bloom out just to get an initial impression of color & form. Just remember that the earliest flowers will also have fewer petals than the variety at maturity.
Dang. Those sound lovely. I wonder if you tried at a different stage of firmness - I usually do semi-hardwood, but have had some success with softwood cuttings on difficult varieties.
I followed your tips and I have managed to germinate rose seeds 😊. When I put theSeedlings into growing medium, do you water them afterwards? I noticed in the video you didn't? Where do you leave them in the spring, in shade?
I keep trying to propagate cuttings from my grandmother's special rose bush but they keep dying. I don't think I'll have another year to get more cuttings (because my grandma is close to the end and they want to move from their house into assisted living). So I'm going to try and hybrid the rose myself since the rose bush itself is so rare and I think my grandma might have the only one left to be honest. I finally noticed that they released the roses they used for the hybrids so I'm going to try and make some myself. I wanted a cutting from my grandma's rose because it was more special, but I don't think that'll happen. This rose smells so strong and has the softest pinky colored flowers with a lighter color middle. It's gorgeous and it would suck for the rose to completely disappear. So I'm going to try.
Many thanks for your video. I wish to grow some double delight roses from seeds ( from eBay ), but I am in Mauritius, which means winter from May to October 16 Deg C to 33 Deg C in full summer. I did plant two plants which I bought in pots, was of height 30cm, they did bloomed, but then some birds ate all the leaves and they died...Waiting for some help from you as winter will start in about 4 months. Thanking you for replying.
Hi Ali. 'Double Delight' is a cultivar grown from cuttings. If you collect seeds from it, you may end up with some very nice roses, but probably won't replicate the mother. With your climate, you can begin cold stratification any time - those winter temps won't bother seedlings when they sprout.
Had forgotten about rose seeds in the fridge and lo and behold they had germinated, not all but quite a number. Now about 3-4 mm long, no real leaves but long radicle and just a tiny bit of wispy mould which I eliminated. And now? still quite cold outside, where am I meant to put them? for the time being they're on a shelf still in plastic containers near the kitchen window next to my orchids and succulents still in fibre peat, so I think I'll have to transfer them in proper pots: soil, new fibre peat .. what's best as a starting off substrate? Thanks, wonderful and true channel
Thanks for your detailed video. I am here in The tropical Island of Mauritius, should I go by the same process, as our winter are not below 18°C ? Thanks for replying.
Hi Ali, yes - I suggest you cold stratify the seeds for 3 months or so before warming them to germinate. This has worked for a wide variety of rose species and hybrids for me - even teas and "subtropical" roses.
It is April 14, 2023. We had a very wet winter here in Central California. My front yard is bordered by a large variety of roses. I had my gardeners hold back on mowing, as it didn't really need it and there were plenty of other things to attend to. I'm so glad that I had them wait, as I have noticed baby roses sprouting up all over my yard from rose hips. They are now 4-8 inches in height, with tons of leaves. I have encircled them with rocks/bricks so that they don't get mowed over. This has been so fun. I'm so curious to see what their blooms will look like. I have no idea who the parents are, lol, as there are so many different varieties. The summers here get quite hot (up to 116 degrees last year), so I am afraid of them burning as the weather warms. Should I just leave them alone for now and transplant when they are more established? Please let me know what to do Jason.
I purchased sun-dried rose hips from our local grocery store. The package says no additives all natural. No sulfur or any inhibitors. the seeds are inside the hips I've extracted many of them and the seeds look great. Would you happen to have any suggestions on germinating? The country of origin is the Kyrgyz Republic. I checked for roses native to Kyrgyz republic and this is what I found
I have followed the steps described here and kept the container in the refrigerator for 3 months. But, I can't see any germination yet. Should I bring out the containers from the refrigerator? What should I do next? Where should I keep them?

Hi, I thought your video was very informative, and thank you. I do have a few questions. When the seedling is in the refrigerator and covered in that Tupperware container do you water it again, after a few days or a week? What did you have in the pot when you transferred the germinated seeds into? It looked like moss? And do you water that? and how often? Thanks again looking forward to your advice.
I don't add much water to the seeds while chilling. I check them every couple of weeks, but they rarely need additional moisture. Once transplanted (I think in this video I was using a composted bark/wood fiber mix) you can check for water every couple of days.
Well the seeds have been in the fridge in a zip lock bag, on paper towel for 3 moths. They've slowly increased in size and some have started to change colour. Zero germination(no root sprouts). Normally I would put the seeds on top of the fridge where it is warm and they start to sprout. But these are my first rose seeds so I can put them in seed pots with either some seed raising mix or some left over rose potting mix. 🤞Here's hopping.
Hi Jason, thank you for the video. been binge watching your channel. Anyway, pardon my ignorance, but do you wet the soil where you put your germinated seeds? I don't have green house, can I just cover the seedling trays with bottles or containers? Or just leave them out under direct sunlight? Thanks heaps!
We recently just moved house,and we have loads of rose hips..im definitely going to try this. Thank you for sharing..new subscriber over here💃💃
Best of luck Amanda.
Where would you suggest buying a variety of rose seeds online?
I bought some from Georgia Vines. Sheffields has them too, I think. But mainly, I collect locally.
i just bought purple/black rose seeds i appreciate your info because i really dont want to mess this up i want a different rose no one saw before :D
Thanks and best of luck with your rose growing. I probably should tell you in advance that the seeds sold online are not likely to look like the pictures in the listing (more likely they'll just be pink or white) but I wish you success just the same.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm lets see what happens. i can give bad review if not similiar
For how long should I soak the rose seeds before putting them into the vermiculite?
A few hours to overnight is fine.
Does the water have to be at certain temperature during the whole time of draining the seeds or does that not really matter?
Looking for video to how to sow rose seeds
Been lucky to have ur video
So descriptive, hope I would be able to grow my roses following these steps
QUESTION: What was the soil type you planted the seedings in? Is there a special kind to use?
Thank you for your information. I am for sure going to be trying your method with my rose hips. :)

It's a local potting mix made mainly from composted bark. Any reasonable potting soil will work.
Thank you for the informative video! I am writing a paper on how to grow roses, and you gave a lot of good tips. (:
Hey Jason, I’m just so interested in growing plants this year and I’m just starting this process but I have some questions....
1. Is it a must to use the vermiculite or perlite to grow the seeds or can you use soils like potting soil or nursery starting soil?
2. Once you put your seeds in the fridge after planting how many times to you water the seeds or no watering at all. Thank you
You can use potting soil no problem - just try to make it not too damp. Just moist enough for the seeds to "feel" it. You can check every couple of weeks if you want, but I find that in a sealed container or bag, the medium remains wet enough without supplemental watering.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thanks a million
I just said "fuck it, this year I wanna grow roses" and bought seeds without thinking. I'm glad this video exists so I know what to do when they arrive lol.
Hello, is this process applicable to all kinds of rose seeds? Would you know if roses from tropical countries (only rainy and sunny seasons) grow with this process? I watched this video twice already by the way. 🤣
Thanks - yes, the cold treatment is required even in warmer climates because the genetics of roses are mainly evolved from temperate regions.
So cool. I found a beautiful rosa bandala today in Virginia. Ty google pics. I took a rose hip. Hoping to get a landrace rose
Again, thank you my boo for the keep it simple minds like me : ) Very informative indeed!
Great follow-up on your kousa seeds. Wonderful instruction and results! Thanks.
Thanks for this information, now I know more than I used to.
I'm so excited to try this in my tropical country, the Philippines : )
Very informative and helpful video thanks so much!
I have a few rose seeds coming to me and I wasn’t sure how long they would take to get going. Thankfully I now know that I have time! As I don’t have any space set up for them to be planted in just yet, only planned space) but after a year or two that space will certainly be ready and so will the roses!
Long term plan and hopefully some extras to gift 😊
Good morning Jason very nice video and I found it very interesting I will come back later on with some questions thank you very much again
Thanks Samuel. Best of luck!
Great video Thank You! You've shared priceless valuable information. I'm trying this with free rosehips I've collected! So much fun!
Thank you. Im watching from Poland. All the best!
Great video. I really your explanation of what happens in nature and how we're making that work on our schedule!
Hi Jason. I am just venturing into roses. I am particularly interested in roses that are native to the U.S. (I live in Mississippi). I ordered some seeds of Rosa virginiana. I was just wondering if you had experience with that species, or other native species, and whether in your experience there are any significant differences between native and cultivated species in terms of how one should go about raising them from seed. Thanks!
I have a seedling from a mini rose bush that I planted, from seed, in early May, and it's now the end of June. It has 1 bud on it, but not tons of leafy growth. Is that normal?
Thank you for your amazing video! We made this our science project for homeschooling, so sad I can’t add pics here. Looking forward what happens in a couple of months!
Best of luck with your seedlings!
Oh thank you for theinformation . I just ordered me som seed from Amazon. And anxious to learn this. I will be looking for your next video.
I use moist coconut coir medium in ziploc bags and fridge for germination.
I found some wild roses in California. Small blossoms, amazingly fragrant with small leaves and lanky branches. Can I cross this with a garden rose?
I see no harm in trying. Species roses can be difficult to get crosses from (because they may have different chromosome counts than modern hybrids) - but sometimes they'll find a way to hybridize anyway.
Hi, do you have air holes in that container so the mix can breath while in the fridge??
No, I've been using sealed containers
So many great ideas here! You’re a legend thanks for sharing your expertise! Allison from Tasmania
Wow! Great instructions. I see it takes real patience.
Sure does! Thanks
Great tutorial on growing roses from seed, but it seems to me that growing roses from cuttings is much easier. Which is your actual preferred method?
Hi Troy. Cuttings by far. I only use seed prop for a few of the species roses (rugosa, rubrifolia, spinosissima) for sale, where doing large batches makes financial sense. The techniques will be handy if I can squeeze out some time to attempt breeding roses.
I planted sev seeds only about 5 came up but when they got about 3 in they fell over now all have died but 1. I put it in potting soil a lil deeper but its not doing good. I was so excited when they first came up.
Sorry to hear it. Those early stages after germination can be a little hit and miss.
I never grew rose seeds before and was just only growing fruits and vegetables from seeds and I figured I had to just switch it up to growing flowers. I normally soak the seeds for 20 hrs in potassium nitrate before I plant my pepper seeds. I wonder if this method will work for flower seeds? I am thinking of growing them for everyone including me just for fun under a 600-2000 watt blue/red grow light. I wonder if there’s a way to germinate the rose seed in less than 3 weeks like in 2 week or less which ever is the best method for you. Thanks 🙏🏼 to the Fraser Valley Farm and Others!! ❤️😁
I get 300 red rose seeds in the mail by Thursday.😁
Great Information, Thank you, Cant wait to try the wild rose hip seeds I found.
thanks so much i have had great success with your method just one question , as i am in South Africa my small plants are only around 3 month old and we are now @ the start of spring and they want to start flowering so should i leave them or break the buds off?
I'd probably let them bloom out just to get an initial impression of color & form. Just remember that the earliest flowers will also have fewer petals than the variety at maturity.
Mine started to grow while moist in a cup of water . I soaked them and drained them .
Nice!
Very lucid video. Points well explained. Kindly advise the plastic container is to be kept on the shelf of the fridge or in the freezer of the fridge
In the main compartment of the fridge - cool but not freezing
I have these gorgeous roses! They are orange and yellow. Like fuzzy peach candies. I can't for the life of me clone these things!
Dang. Those sound lovely. I wonder if you tried at a different stage of firmness - I usually do semi-hardwood, but have had some success with softwood cuttings on difficult varieties.
Realy thank you for your valuable informstion
It's my pleasure - thanks Medhat
I followed your tips and I have managed to germinate rose seeds 😊. When I put theSeedlings into growing medium, do you water them afterwards? I noticed in the video you didn't? Where do you leave them in the spring, in shade?
Hi Andrew. I'll probably have watered them in after the video! I do leavce them in semi-shade until I see strong growth and rooting
Should you soak seeds before placing in vermiculite and for how long?
Not necessary. I only soak seeds if I need to remove them from a dried seed pod.
I keep trying to propagate cuttings from my grandmother's special rose bush but they keep dying. I don't think I'll have another year to get more cuttings (because my grandma is close to the end and they want to move from their house into assisted living). So I'm going to try and hybrid the rose myself since the rose bush itself is so rare and I think my grandma might have the only one left to be honest. I finally noticed that they released the roses they used for the hybrids so I'm going to try and make some myself. I wanted a cutting from my grandma's rose because it was more special, but I don't think that'll happen. This rose smells so strong and has the softest pinky colored flowers with a lighter color middle. It's gorgeous and it would suck for the rose to completely disappear. So I'm going to try.
Many thanks for your video. I wish to grow some double delight roses from seeds ( from eBay ), but I am in Mauritius, which means winter from May to October 16 Deg C to 33 Deg C in full summer.
I did plant two plants which I bought in pots, was of height 30cm, they did bloomed, but then some birds ate all the leaves and they died...Waiting for some help from you as winter will start in about 4 months.
Thanking you for replying.
Hi Ali. 'Double Delight' is a cultivar grown from cuttings. If you collect seeds from it, you may end up with some very nice roses, but probably won't replicate the mother. With your climate, you can begin cold stratification any time - those winter temps won't bother seedlings when they sprout.
Had forgotten about rose seeds in the fridge and lo and behold they had germinated, not all but quite a number.
Now about 3-4 mm long, no real leaves but long radicle and just a tiny bit of wispy mould which I eliminated. And now? still quite cold outside, where am I meant to put them? for the time being they're on a shelf still in plastic containers near the kitchen window next to my orchids and succulents still in fibre peat, so I think I'll have to transfer them in proper pots: soil, new fibre peat .. what's best as a starting off substrate?
Thanks, wonderful and true channel
Hi Kate - they're not fussy, and decent potting soil will do. I've used peat/perlite (like Promix) or composted bark with equal success.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you
Thanks for your detailed video. I am here in The tropical Island of Mauritius, should I go by the same process, as our winter are not below 18°C ? Thanks for replying.
Hi Ali, yes - I suggest you cold stratify the seeds for 3 months or so before warming them to germinate. This has worked for a wide variety of rose species and hybrids for me - even teas and "subtropical" roses.
I’m going to have to try this and tell everyone in the house what they are so they don’t get thrown out, lol😊
It is April 14, 2023. We had a very wet winter here in Central California. My front yard is bordered by a large variety of roses. I had my gardeners hold back on mowing, as it didn't really need it and there were plenty of other things to attend to. I'm so glad that I had them wait, as I have noticed baby roses sprouting up all over my yard from rose hips. They are now 4-8 inches in height, with tons of leaves. I have encircled them with rocks/bricks so that they don't get mowed over. This has been so fun. I'm so curious to see what their blooms will look like. I have no idea who the parents are, lol, as there are so many different varieties. The summers here get quite hot (up to 116 degrees last year), so I am afraid of them burning as the weather warms. Should I just leave them alone for now and transplant when they are more established? Please let me know what to do Jason.
Yes, I'd probably let them be until they've developed more roots
I purchased sun-dried rose hips from our local grocery store. The package says no additives all natural. No sulfur or any inhibitors. the seeds are inside the hips I've extracted many of them and the seeds look great. Would you happen to have any suggestions on germinating? The country of origin is the Kyrgyz Republic. I checked for roses native to Kyrgyz republic and this is what I found
THEY SELL THE HIPS FOR making/brewing tea
I have followed the steps described here and kept the container in the refrigerator for 3 months. But, I can't see any germination yet. Should I bring out the containers from the refrigerator? What should I do next? Where should I keep them?
Yes, I'd probably bring them out and try them with some warmth now. I hope the seeds are viable and sprout nicely for you!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much.
I have put my rose seeds in the fridge. Can you post a video on care after initial transplanting. Amount of water used and how often. Fertilizers?
u crack me up..showing us how to write on a bag..LOL thanks for your video..awesome
dzięki 🌹👍👏👏( już mam kiełki ok 2mm bo przez 2 m-ca w wodzie , zmiana wody i tydzień trochę fioletu od grzybiacz) tak myślałam że do piachu z ukorzeniaczem 👍👏👏
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you
