I'm in zone 10a Florida. Lol, I've tried growing roses from cuttings about 50 times. No luck past a month or two and normally even quicker than that. This time I have a rose hip that gave me 20 seeds. So now I came to learn. And here I was just about to just toss them in soil. I wasn't thinking anything about stratification. Glad I didn't just dive in head first. Thank you.
I’m so happy you learned about stratification! There are a lot of people that want to grow roses from seed but miss this important step, and then become discouraged when nothing grows and they give up entirely! It takes quite a few attempts to be successful at cuttings. The moisture levels have to be just right. Keep on trying and don’t give up, once you find the method that works best for you, you’ll have so many plants from cuttings you won’t know what to do with them all! 😂 Later this growing season I will also be making videos on cuttings as well, so make sure to keep an eye out for those!
@Therosedude thank you for the encouragement on the rose propragating journey of mine 😁 I am like a pitbull with a bone when it comes to being determined to accomplish this. I'll keep trying til I get my happy accidents, lol.
I agree! There’s a few steps when growing roses from seed, and able to get into a little more detail if it’s broken into different steps. I will be adding more videos as the year goes along! 👍
Thank you, it is a lot of fun!! And I’ve also been enjoying your videos as well. The roses and varieties that you have made from hybridizing are absolutely stunning, very inspirational!
Hey Jeff, congrats on yr first vid! I've been collecting open hybrid hips this year (it's currently autumn here in the southern hemisphere) as I was a bit late to do my own cross-pollination, but I'm hoping I'll get some interesting results! I may mostly try to stratify outdoors or in a shed, given our lack of fridge space, but was wondering whether you stratify using a wet or dry paper towel? I thought it was supposed to be wet down, but after getting heinous mould on some apricot pits I was stratifying I thought twice about it, hah. Just a suggestion: while the (I'm assuming camera) audio sounds good, in the behind-the-camera section it changes drastically. A good "field solution" in situations where you're moving around a bit would be something like a rode lavalier mic, either as a line in to your camera or using an external recorder, which I've found helps when you have to be using your hands! It's not a big deal, but perhaps something I would have liked to be told if I were in your place :) Keep up the good work, I'll be sure to check out the rest of your videos as they come!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! Also a big thanks for your suggestion on the microphone, I think that will help a lot. I also have roosters crowing from the neighbor and think that would also help with that issue!! As far as your seeds go, that’s great that you’re going to be hybridizing yourself! It’s a ton of fun 😀 You want the paper towels to be moist going through stratification. The combination of moisture and cold mimics winter. If you’re having issues with mold, you can always use a small amount of hydrogen peroxide with the water. Checking on the paper towels periodically and changing them out when any mold is present will help tremendously.
Yes! And they vary greatly…I have had a flower bud form only 5 weeks after planting, and I have roses that are over 2 years old and haven’t bloomed yet! 😜
Nice I was reaserching on why roses dosent produce seeds/fruit even if they bloom flowers, so some roses do have seed I think they r breeded selectively so they dont have seeds
Yes, there are varieties that don’t produce hips/seeds and/or viable pollen. With selection breeding, its reproductive traits are mostly not considered, if any at all. That’s why it is so important to test as many varieties as possible in our own backyards. Try using all as both pollen & seed parents and see which varieties work for you. That way, going forward in upcoming years, we can spend more time on hybridizing the roses that we know works for us 😀👍 Also, there is a website, helpmefind roses, that offers parentage on specific varieties. Can be very helpful knowing which have a history of producing offspring.
Thank you very much! That’s awesome that you’re wanting to grow roses from seed!! When placing in the fridge, I keep the seeds in between damp paper towels. Vermiculite is also very popular, and it works just as well. Except I find it a bit messier when trying to sort the seeds out when it’s time to start planting. Any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask! 😀
Great video, thanks. I only have a question about purchasing the seeds. When you look online you have different coloured roses, and also multicoloured roses like ´rainbow rose´. My question is if this is even possible to grow those multicolored varieties from seeds or is it a scam.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Be careful when buying seeds. The rainbow, blue, black, etc. colors are scams, sadly. They don’t exist. If you did order these seeds and you get them to germinate and grow (which I would also be skeptical with) you will end up with very different looking flowers than what is “promised” to you. Seedlings will always differ from their parents (except species roses) and you won’t get what the picture shows. Even if you bred a variety with itself, the seedlings will differ. If you are buying seeds online, find someone reputable. If they are legit, they will tell you what varieties the seeds come from, and they should also let you know that your results will vary. Sorry if I “popped your bubble” but I would fully avoid these scams.
Yes, the paper towel needs to be moist for the seeds to properly stratify. I suggest putting the paper towel in a Ziploc baggie; that will allow the paper towel to retain the moisture while in the refrigerator. 😊👍
Thank you for your video. It was really helpful. I was wondering, I have seen some videos saying you should soak your seeds in diluted hydrogen peroxide before putting them in the fridge. Do you recommend that?
Yes, absolutely! Mold is one of the biggest challenges with seeds while they are germinating, so sterilization greatly helps! I soak my seeds in water usually overnight in plain water. I then add hydrogen peroxide to the water and let the seeds continue soaking for another 30 mins-hour. Also adding just a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the water being used to the paper towels helps as well. Make sure to check on the paper towels every once in a while, and switch them out whenever you see any signs of mold growth. You should be good to go!!
@@Therosedude Thank you very much. I will give it a go. I've never grown a flower in my life! But my daughter wants a rose! (she loves Beauty and the Beast).
I live in Los Angeles, and I'm probably late in trying to grow roses. I'm going to plant a few seeds to see how it goes. How much potting mix or parts of perlite to potting mix? Can I put this mix with the carnation seed in the fridge to stratify, or can I just get perlite, moisturize it with water, and then put the seeds in zip bags or containers and place them in the fridge for stratification?
Hi there!! Thank you for the question! When stratifying rose seeds, you can either wrap them in a moist paper towel (my preferred method) or even in moist vermiculite/perlite. Make sure the seeds are free of any leftover fibers from the hip. You will want to stratify in the refrigerator for 12 weeks, checking often, as seeds may start germinating. When you do plant, they aren’t particularly finicky with the soil. I use half seedling mix/perlite. Try to avoid garden soil, as there could be harmful fungi and bacteria that can lead to failed seedlings. Hopefully this helped! Any other questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!! 😀
This will be a bit long, but I am hoping you can help! I moved to a new house and decided to take my roses with me. But that decision wasn't made until I had cut one off at the ground, intending to rip them out and start with new plants at the new house. My roses mean the world to me mostly due to memories with my kids as they were growing up. 1) Do you think the one i cut off at the ground will grow again? 2) my roses that i cut back to move are still alive, but theres no new growth after 2 weeks. Should i feed them or continue to wait? 3) my one rose bush had hips on them from last year. They were dried out but they had over wintered outside on the plant. Do you think those seeds have a chance? I took cuttings from both plants prior to the .ove, but none of them look like they're going to take. I have never tried seed saving or cuttings before. Mostly because i never thought i would re-marry, sell my house and move. I am sorry that this is so long, but out of all the videos i have watched, you caught my attention. And i just subscribed ☺️
Thank you for your kind words!! I fully understand your connection with your roses, I have many myself that I would move with me as well! No worries about the questions, feel free to ask anytime!! 1.) it is hard to tell you if the rose will grow back or not. A lot of roses are on grafts, and depends on how low you cut the rose back/cut off the graft. I still would move the rose and plant it, and in time you will know if it comes back. 2.) A lot of times, when plants are transplanted, they focus and spend their time on their roots. Transplanting can be somewhat of a shock so they’ll first get the roots re-established before new growth. Hold off on fertilizing as they could burn the stressed roots- make sure you water plenty as you don’t want them to dry out. In time, you’ll see new growth appearing and I would start feeding at that time. 3.) Depending on your winter temperatures, your seeds still may be viable. Seeds are best stratified around 40 degrees. Seeds don’t like to be frozen though. Freezing harms the seeds, and their chances of germination decreases. But, the only way to know is to try planting the seeds! Hopefully this helps you 😀 Please let me know how your roses adjusted to their new home!
@@Therosedude All of my roses are true to the root. None of them are grafts, thankfully. I set up the irrigation system around the roses. My tiny pink rose bush opened her bloom!! YAY! So she will make it for sure. My red rose bush has 5 new growth shoots on it!! They are so small, but it is definitely a sign of life. I am so seriously happy about that! My two yellow rose bushes have not shown any new growth yet. But all the leaves are still firm and green. I will give them more time. Thank you so much for your help!!!!! You're amazing!!!!!!
Good question! Seeds absolutely can stay outdoors during the winter and germinate in the spring. However, it greatly depends on your climate. Seeds don’t like freezing temperatures, and do the best around 40 degrees (refrigerator temp). If your winters are mild enough, you should have no issues with your seeds stratifying outdoors!
Hi there, thanks for your video! Can you please help answer a few questions I have? so I mistakenly stratified my seeds dry for the last three months, (completely dry, no moisture) should I take them out and wait till next spring to start over again or can I go ahead and wrap them in a moist paper towel and continue cold stratifying for another three months and go from there? Just wondering if it’s not good to store it in the fridge for over 3 months?
Hello!! Am so glad that you have enjoyed the video and want to grow roses from seed yourself!! That’s awesome! 🤩 I would take the seeds out and re-stratify them. When you do this, greatly depends on your time. If you start now, they won’t be planted until the end of June, and will germinate in July. If you live in a colder zone, your seedlings may not be mature enough to withstand the winter temperatures unless you have an area to keep them well protected. You could also wait until this next Fall to restratify; keep in mind that some of your seeds may not be as viable though. Remember, there is a learning curve with everything and rose seeds are included! It sometimes can take a few trials before working out the kinks. So hang on in there! Hope this helped….! 😀 Let me know what you decided to do and be sure to give me updates, would love to hear back from you!
If you are growing your seedlings in a pot/container, you will want to grow 1 plant in each. That way, they won’t have to compete with each other for water, nutrients, and space. If you are growing them directly in the ground, try to space them out ensure there is no competition from surrounding plants. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask! 👍
The heat won’t harm your seeds. Getting your newly planted seeds into room temperature imitates Spring, which signals to your seeds that winter is over and they can begin to germinate and grow.
Would love to know which part you are disagreeing with. While there are many different ways with seed growing (and gardening in general) I am able to show and share my experiences and what has worked for me. I welcome you to share what you’ve done differently! Always fun trying different methods!
@@andrewprotheroe9886 rose seeds do need a stratification process for the most successful germination. Are you leaving the hips on the plant during the winter time?
