Hi there,

I would love your rose seeds and I am happy to send you many of them back as a plant. I do this every year for 7 years now and it's so much fun... but I couldn't collect this year so I don't have any seeds to play with :( This will be great!

Please email me.

Thanks!
Sam

I too would be very interested in this exchange. On my first attempt 3 years ago I was very successful.
Have the hips been outside all winter?

I also would love to have some of your seeds. My daughter has had good luck germanating rose seed this year and I would love to try and would be glad to send you a plant. Thank You!! Angelia

I would be very happy if you are willing to share seeds from your 'Full Sail' rose. I have a small greenhouse where I grow cuttings, seedlings etc and will be happy to send you a few plants back in exchange for the seed :-)

Do you have any seeds left? If you do I'm willing to send you back some seedlings for the seeds.

New here and seen your offer would love to obtain seeds willing to either purchase or will send seedlings back.
I simply love roses, you have a very lovely collection
would like to try to obtain seeds from:
Kordes Brilant,-Neon orange
full sail
rock N Roll
and/or - chicago peace

also anyone have any purple roses?
or a rose named summer fashion?
there is another one i am looking for but can't think of the name at the moment.
would even be interested in cuttings!

thank you

i would love to have some seeds and will seed you some plants in return

would like to have some of your seeds also if you have any left also please.

I would love some of your seeds if you have any left! Thank you so much! :-)

I know this isnt the place to ask but have to,I have a couple of rose plants/bushes but have never seen rose seeds,where do you get them??

Woody 64,

I am a novice grower, but have just noticed that I have seeds on my Juane Desprez bush. There are 5 or 6 seeds in the very center of where the flower was. I was very suprised to see them, as I thought seeds only formed inside rose hips. I don't think all roses set hips, so I guess some roses have no choice but to form seeds out in the open.

thanks g-in-fl,will have to take a look at my rose bushes after.

After the bloom fades and the petals fall off you are left with a rose hip. If you leave the hip on the rose you will see it start to fatten up and get bigger. If left until ripe, 90 to 120 days, there will be seeds INSIDE the hip. If removed and planted they will sprout and grow new roses. The new rose will NOT be the same rose as the one they came from. It will be a new variety because it will have a different mix of genetic traits.

hey thanks for the pics.So growers will take pollen from different roses and put some on other roses,let grow then harvest seeds from plant when ripe?

Woody64,
Take a look at this site for visuals.
On one picture the caption is: "Each year 30,000 to 40,000 seeds are planted."
One rose breeder once said that it took 5000 seedlings to get a new commerical rose. Today that could be higher because the demands are so specific.
But it is a great feeling to have your own rose that you created, commerical or not. It could be from self pollinated hips or cross pollinated. It's fun.
If you see a hip on a rose bush somewhere, if it is OK with the owner, take it and try it.
