I took a chance and bought a "Sweet Fragrance" rose bush from Menards on clearance for $5 this year. Half the bush was dead, but I pruned all that off. She survived and now has new growth. The blooms are a beautiful mix of coral, orange and yellow. The best part is, she has a hip that is swollen.This will be my first attempt to grow roses from seed. I am so excited. Thanks for the video. Your timing on this one was great for me!!
You are more than welcome!!! I’m excited for you! Please never hesitate to ask if you have any questions! I will be putting out more videos on each step, so keep an eye out for those!
That is a really good question!! There’s a couple reasons why rose hips aren’t usually kept on the plant during winter: 1.) The fibers inside of the hip can inhibit seed germination and prevent a successful cold stratification. It is best to get those fibers off of the seeds prior to cold stratification. 2.) The weather/temperature outside during the winter may not be ideal for stratifying. Some climates may be too warm for the rose seeds to feel like they have gone through a winter. On the other hand, extreme low temperatures can damage the frozen seeds. Of course, there have been people that have had some success with their rose seeds germinating while being kept on the plant during winter, but generally you will have a higher germination rate if you harvest the hips and collect the seeds instead.
Feel free to watch my other videos on growing roses from seed! 👍
I have one rose that I got from a neighbor a couple weeks ago. At least now I know what to do with it. I didn't know it was called a rose hip.

Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for a great, instructive video!
You’re more than welcome!!! 🤗
Thank you for all the info!
You are more than welcome! Do you have rose hips forming/planning on planting rose seeds?
You are awesome!
Thank you so much! You’re awesome too!
Fantastic video!!! I see a greenhouse complex in your near future!
One can only hope…!😂
I never knew this, thank you handsome
You’re more than welcome!! 🤗
@@Therosedude such a cutie 😊
Just a thought why can't you just leave the rose hips on the bush and pick them in the springtime and plant the seeds. Would that work?
