I have a rose that consistantly produces nice rosehips, and last fall I coddled
two hips to prevent them from being eaten by deer etc, and left them on the
stalk until the snow was about to bury it (mid January). I live near Ottawa,
Canada, so winters here are very cold and snowy.
Anyway, I cut the seed pods off, brought them indoors (they were black by now)
and after they were dry, I cut it open and took out the seeds, allowing them to
dry.
Now I have about 40 seeds, and I know that they will not be anything like the
parent plant (I don't even know what it is as it was here when we bought the
house) but I would love to see what they turn into.
My question is how do I plant these seeds to ensure they germinate and grow
well? What potting medium should I use? How moist should they be kept? What
temp should they grow in?
Thanks in advance,
Jewels
