The listing, BREATH TAKING ! 4 BLUE CHINA ROSE SEEDS, EASY GROWING INSTRUCTIONS has ended.

Growing roses from seeds can be easier than you think ! Patience is required, but worth it !Stratify your rose seeds to encourage them to grow better. To stratify your seeds, place them on a paper towel that has been soaked in a solution that contains half water and half peroxide to prevent mold from occurring. Fold the towel to keep the seeds inside and then put them all into a resealable bag. Place the bag inside a refrigerator . Keep the seeds in the refrigerator for six to 10 weeks. Another method to stratify is to place the seeds in a tray of potting soil, cover the tray and then place it in the fridge for a few weeks.
Create a potting soil mixture that is ideal for rose-growing by filling pots or trays . Push the seeds down into the soil about 1 inch. Place them outside in direct sunlight once the threat of frost is gone and water the soil when it looks dry. The seeds will likely begin to sprout in about six weeks.
Transplant the seedlings into separate containers once they have grown a few inches tall. Be careful not to touch the plant's roots during this process. The use of a spoon may be helpful.
Apply fertilizer to the roses after you transplant them. Either purchase the variety that can be sprinkled around the plant or the type that can be added to the water. Fertilize the bush again in the spring, summer and a few weeks before frost occurs.

this sounds like it would be easy, I don't have a green thump or any green fingers but flower are something I want to start growing. I live in zone 8 or 9 north La will they do alright here and I will start them in a greenhouse that I am building now.
placing them in the frig will not kill them??? I know that I have some bamboo sends it says the same things except to place in warm place like on my computer tower etc do you know what the dif. would be? sorry I have so many ????

this type of rose need winterizing. I have my seeds in the fridge now. If you have a green house, you may refigerate for 2-3 vweeks in soil. Plant in pots and go ahead and set in your green house. It will take about six weeks for the seds to sprout. Water when dry.. You will have beautiful plants to plant outside in the ground or pots in Feb, but I would wait until March, late. I am zone 7 so i do wait. You can plant these safley in the ground until Memorial Day. Ater that if you have more plants, in early fall. I would mulch with leaves the first year. Hope this helps, and bamboo takes a warmer climate and humid conditiond to thrive. My daughter has these and rthe had to keep lights on the seeds. Somewhere warm until sprin, Hope this helps, jane
