First ever seedling and first cutting propagation bloom

I’m still in my first year of hybridizing. While working to create my own first crosses I’m practicing propagation by cuttings and growing from seed. The seeds I started late in the season but figured why not? My first seedling ever has popped. This is. R. blanda from Prairie Rose Nursery.

The first cuttings I took were just from a deli bouquet got for my wife. Two of the eight rooted and the first flowered a little bit ago. Neither major accomplishments on their own but both are good practice for when it’ll matter.
