Default Rosa moyesii from seed

Hi. I posted this on the "Roses" forum but thought I'd post it here as well in the hope of getting a few more replies (the site I was directed to was just a bit too technical), so apologies if you've already read this:

I've bought some seeds of Rosa moyesii. Does anybody have any tips on germination? I've read it can take up to 2 years. I haven't been able to find much information on the web but a couple of sources suggest starting the seeds in warmth (although one says 15-20C and the other 20-27C) for a few (maybe four?) weeks, then moving them to either 4 or 3 degrees C, although by then I suppose it will be too warm to do that part of the process outdoors and I'll have to put them in the fridge. Or would it be best just to start them in a tray outdoors and let the weather work on them?

Thanks in advance for your help.
