Just a ward of caution. In many\most roses, the flowers may be
from a diffent variety than the roots or stems. Many roses are
grafted onto the rootstock of wild roses to give vigorous
roots and\or a differnt growth habit - maybe as climbing roses
or as a standard. Or a miniature rootstock which will reduce the
size of the flowers by restriction the amount of nutrient provided.
Or to form a large bush. As with apples, cuttings can be grafted
onto all differnt types of rootstocks. So that seed taken from
say a standard rose may well give you the same flowers, but maybe
only on a bush that grows only 1 ft from the ground, and so totally
unsuitable for the location and conditions you had in mind.
