Anyone ever plant roses from seed?
Hi all!
I have some wild rose seeds that I got as a wedding favor in June, that have been sitting in my house in the packet. I read somewhere online that one way to get these puppies ready to be planted is to put them in a wet paper towel in the refrigerator for 3 MONTHS in order to get them to germinate, after soaking them for 2 days....Does this ring true? Has anyone out there done this successfully? Are there other ways that are easier? I want to make sure they're ready to go for the spring and have time to shoot before going outdoors.
Thanks!

Re: Anyone ever plant roses from seed?
Yes, that rings true. They do need cold stratification. And yes, there is an easier way, if you live in a good climate for it. You can bury them outside in a layer of composing wet leaves and dirt, instead of trying to simulate those conditions in a refrigerator. But because they're roses, they're susceptible to every imaginable mold and fungus at every stage of development, from the moment they sprout... which is just one of the numerous reasons I dislike roses.
