Last year I tried it for the first time with good results, I live in 
the Pacific Northwest so don't know if this works in other areas.

I harvested the rose hips around September, opened the hips up and
scooped seeds out. I let seeds dry for a day when I was able to get
the rest of the pulp off the seeds. I planted in containers with a seed
starting mix and placed in a cold frame. In the spring there were 
numerous seedlings.
