RE: Rugosa seeds

Ouch, three years. Well, driveway is 1800 feet long, might be worth
the seed time vs. plant cost. Perhaps I could just plant the driveway
entry.  

I like the planting outside idea, with labels of course. Thanks. I
had no idea that hybrid teas bloomed so new and rugosa so much later.
Don't old roses take a year or two ?  

Oh my, hybridizing. How fun.
I just might have to try that some day.
You know; between sheep, spinning, weaving, gardening, e-mail, 
and family that like some attention.
