Re:Rosa Canina


Hello,

All this talk about R. Canina, reminded me that earlier in the year I
bought a package of R. Canina seeds from Richters Herbs, tossed them in
the refrigerator and forgot all about them.   It never occurred to me that
anyone could grow roses from seed and I bought them out of curiosity.

Has anyone on the list ever done this?  The label said to "Keep
refrigerated until open" and to stratify for 60-90 days at 40 degrees F. 
I've heard the term "stratify" before but I'm not too clear on how one
does that.  Does it mean something more than refrigerating the seed?  Do
you need to actually plant the seed in soil and then refrigerate it?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Best wishes,

Asata
