My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

ok.. how do I breed color into a seedling ? :)

19 years ago

Question for those of you who do your own deliberate parent/pollen crosses:

I have a white rose that gave me many seedlings. All of the blooms so far appear they are going to be white (white parent).

These were all op seedlings.

If I do a cross, is the hopes I cross a colored rose with another colored rose that some of the seedlings would have color to them? Not that white isn't nice, but I am curious.

Are some colors "dominant"? easier to obtain thru deliberate crosses?
