If you're moving I'd venture
to guess this is not the time you
want to mess around with seeds & hips.
Even professionals have trouble there.

Roses are highly hybridized. The only
way to get a true variety is to vegetative
propagate the rose. This can be done by
'rooting a cutting'. Search the web on this.

What I would recommend is that you jot
down the names of the roses he grows,
get to nursery where ever you are going to
and get the roses they recommend.

Climate has a huge influence on how
roses do. So every region has its set
of roses that do well.

I am leaving the country soon and a neighbor of mine has some of the
nicest
looking and smelling roses.
I would like to grow them in my future home.
How do you harvest the rose hips?
how to you sprout the seeds in the rose hips?

Thanks Jack
