Breeding Roses. The entire process.

Hello,

I am new to RHA so forgive me if I am asking something that has already been addressed.

I am looking for information on breeding roses - specifically, the entire process of getting your rose to market.

Any links or info. would be appriciated.

Welcome Steve!

If you are up to a 3 hour drive down to College Station, TX, then I’ll be happy to show you the method we use for pollen collection and pollination. If not…then we’ll be coming up to Mansfield, TX sometime in April (or May) and we can show you how we evaluate the roses.

Also, we have a nice rose breeding lesson on line at: TAMU Rose Web Site

Look at the side bar and click on ‘Basic Lessons in Rose Breeding’

There are also links on the main page of this forum on how to breed roses and other interesting articles as well.

Private Message me if you’d like to visit us and I’ll give you directions.
