    When I got off work this morning I went with some co-workers to waffle house and saw some neat lil roses infront of the mccdonalds beside it. So I walked over there just to look at them and there was a huge rose hip on it and so I figured no one else wanted it and um
    well anyway I opened it up and there were seeds of the normal size I get kind of small but there were two huge ones in there...I was wondering if someone can explain this to me. Are they suppose to be this big? Ive never had them bigger than corn kernels before and I was wondering if I have been doing something wrong.

    The size of the seeds are determined by the type of Rose it is. You aren't doing anything wrong with your Roses, they just produce smaller seeds than the one at McDonalds.

    Yes.
    On the other hand, maybe it's just all the fat and cholesterol in their food that's making those seeds "fat". LOL.
