Hi Kareen, I have never collected the hips from my roses but your quest got me curious about growing them from seed. After reading the following info on germinating rose seeds I think I will just stick with buying the plants. http://www.rdrop.com/~paul/manners_seed.html
rose seeds ?//// Today I pulled off some seeds on my Orange rose bush.. Don't know if they will grow?/ Now I have lost confidence.. ha ha barb
I don't see why they would't grow? It might take a long time. But, I still have many years left to see them bloom...lol
