I planted my first seeds today...I surfed around online and planting and growing are pretty much the same as regular rose seeds. I planted in some good potting soil, in a stater pot, soaked well, organic fertilizer stick, fed and will go from there! You could do some searching as well...some sites suggested putting in the frig for awhile, others said germinating with a moist paper towel in the frig...various ways. I figured I'd start out the good old fashioned way and w/ lots of love! :) I have really gotten involved with gardening everything by seed and they really are amazing and so much more fun to grow! If I find something that is really interesting or may be more useful. I will include the link online here and with seeds...I want to keep researching as well! Thank you for asking....great question!

I so would love to have these for my mom.. fanned you great auction

there really is no such thing as a blue rose , genetically engineered no, that blue rose is actually a white rose which is called a vendetta rose dyed that blue color. I know this because I am a florist of 22 years with a degree in Horticulture and there has not yet been a rose cultivated that is royal blue. Some roses are called "blue roses" but are actually a shade of purple. I am sure it is going to be a beautiful rose but it is definitely not going to be that royal blue as in the photo attached. Do some research and see what I am talking about.

Hi evesunflower....very awesome comment and being a florist....I assumed much of what you wrote, and because I am a newbie...I have been doing much research and surfing around online about this! I figure the best research I can do is by growing and experimenting with these and a variety of other rose seeds, etc. Everything is the new stages..:) Would you happen to have any advice for growing these seeds. that would really be awesome....I could then include with the winning bidders seeds as well! Thank you! :)

Sep 27th, 2011 at 12:53:18 PM PDT by

Thank you everyone!!! I am fanning any member who has left me a comment or fanned! I know that growing these does require patients and will be very worth it in the end! I go out each day to see if any have sprouted....I can't wait! So far..I have seeds in the frig, and seeds not...trying to figure out the best way...it's alot of fun and a great learning process! I will def. but adding any print outs for my winning bidder re: growing these and other info...:)

Oh thank you! And thank you Birdaymckee...fanned you too! I've just added another seed (which color...a surprise) - these are really doing well! Glad that everyone loves them so much....;)

Sep 30th, 2011 at 12:52:31 AM PDT by

I found a really good article that I will include with these seeds...I am finding out that it will be a very slow learning process, but once mastered will be so rewarding! I planted one seed a week ago, but am going to try other methods shown in the article...it is a process! This auction now includes two each or a blue and purple seed! Good luck everyone and thanks for watching, fanning and bidding!
