FREE: green Rose

I have some outside in the ground but i also have some in the refrigerator.
Once you’ve cleaned the seeds thoroughly, soak them in the hydrogen peroxide for a while. Some people will soak for a full 24 hours but I only soak mine for about an hour. There is a belief that any seeds that float will not germinate but this has never been proven so I stratify all my seeds regardless of whether or not they float. The hydrogen peroxide is used to keep down the mold on the seeds during stratification. Dampen a paper towel (not soaking wet) with some of the hydrogen peroxide and wrap the seeds in the towel.
Place the towel in a zip bag and mark the variety name or cross names on the bag.
Now the seeds must spend some time in the cold. I place all the zip bags in a larger bag and put them in the crisper drawer in my refrigerator. Remember they should stay in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks so if you haven’t kept the hips in the cold you will need to do it now with the seeds.
