Hi,

I'm just wondering what is the official process for naming a rose and
getting it out into the public?

Last year, I planted some seeds from a self-pollinated Monumental rose
in an open-air planter. None of them ever sprouted up... at least
that's what I thought until I got a good look at a plant in my back
yard that I had previously thought was a briar. This plant is
definitely a rose, and while I haven't seen the blooms yet, its
foliage is GORGEOUS! My guess is that a bird or squirrel raided my
planter and dropped a seed.

Anyway, this plant is beautiful and I would like to name it and put it
on the market. How do I do so?

Thanks!
Jason

If you live in the USA, the American Rose
Society website www.ars.org has information
about that.
