FREE: 6 LILAC ROSE SEEDS EASY GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

The listing, 6 LILAC ROSE SEEDS EASY GROWING INSTRUCTIONS has ended.

Pods and seeds are finally ready for this rose. I don't know the name of this rose. The bush was here when we bought our home. It is a Floribunda, blooming big roses all summer. Not as much quantity as quality. They tend to get a deeper color as they get bigger. It is a later blooming rose about the 3rd week in June for my zone 7. The roses when at their fullest can grow over 4" wide. I have not grown these from seed before but am doing so this year. There will be brown pods that form on the stems in late fall and into the winter. These need to be brought inside, dried and then opened and dried seeds at least 2 weeks
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.
Plant your seeds in pots or flats.. 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. It is hot in my zone so I don't plant after Memorial day.
I would mulch the first year. I just use leaves. Fertilize once a month and water every three days or so. Prune in February. Your bushes will be fuller when they bloom in the spring.
