Hello,
I am curious about how long it takes for some species rose seeds to germinate. My current understanding is that many species roses take 2 years to germinate, and then another 2 years to flower.
Can this germination process be huried. Could I expect seeds of this nature to germinate after being in the fridge for 2 months, then a cool closet at about 65 F for 2 months, followed by another 2 months in the fridge and then finally brought back out and placed into the closet? This would be a total of 6 - 8 months of varied temps. Is this enough to start germination?
I was also wondering if I could get some help determaining what kind of time till I can expect germination for the following seeds.
R. xanthina
R. piminellifolia
R. roxburghii
R. sweginzowii
R. davurica
R. holodonta
R. filipes ‘Kiftsgate’
R. soulieana
R. pomifera
R. sempervirens
R. rubiginosa
I have had these in the fridge for about 2 months now.
