This year, 75% of the crosses included at least one parent that was a Hulthemia. I am hoping for some interesting seedlings this year.
The anticipation begins, once again!

2013 Planting Finished!
We planted all of the rose seeds this past weekend. Lucky for me, the entire family participated which made the work much easier. A perlite top-dressing will be added next weekend.

Very cool...I'm intrigued.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janie, already they are sprouting like crazy. Soon lots of blooms will follow.
ReplyDeleteI have attempted growing seeds....it's been hit and miss...tell me, how long do the seeds take to germinate after being planted?
ReplyDeleteRose seeds start to germinate in a few days (3-5), but may take as long as a few months. Most rose seeds germinate in about 3-4 weeks. Most seeds need to be kept in the refrigerator before planting to germinate properly. I put them in zip lock bags and give them a small spray of plain water from a spray bottle and leave them in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks. Some rose varieties produce seeds that do not germinate at all, while others germinate very well. There is a lot of good searchable information on rosebreeders.org .
