Hi guys,


I am a complete newbie in growing roses, but I also find roses one of the
most amazing plants. So I decide to try to grow roses from seeds (I know
that they might be different from the original plant, but I also do not know
the original plant, it is just for the fun.) I have now 11 seedlings 4
inches tall and a few more to come in the fridge.


Questions:
Do I need to take any special care till they start flowering?
Will they ever flower?
Do you know any online source on how to polinate roses and how to cross
them?


Thanks in advance.


Try the American Rose Society:www.ars.org

click on More about Roses, then Rose Care Articles, and then
Propagation, where you will find much about all phases of growing
new roses.

The article mentions storing the seeds in cold twice. If the hips
have been through a winter, are the seeds good to plant without taking
those steps?
Anyone know?
