Re: Fw: Rugosa seeds

carleen,
some people stratify their seeds in moist(just barely) potting soil in the
'fridge for two to three months and then plant out in april. this works too,
the trick is keeping the seeds moist 'til they're ready to sprout. i have had
good luck with the outside method, though. you should have blooming roses in
to to three years. remember to label the pot outside unless you have a better
memory than i do. i have several hips of "Hansa", a rugosa that are crossbred
with hybrid teas, minis, and a hybrid perpetual(striped) that i will plant out
later. could be interesting offspring. i will find it difficult to wait two or
more years to see the blooms, hybrid tea seedlings usually bloom the first
year on tiny plants. i have some nice ones that i sprouted last spring'
good luck!
