Help with seeds

Hello all,

I would just like to find an easy way to grow seed. I have

read many of the fine articles and links and it seems

that there are many different ways to rasie seeds.

I live in the south western U.S. I have a bunch of seed

that I would like to grow. I’m think of useing a blender

to open the hips then putting then into zip lock bags

with a damp paper towel. Then in a couple of months or so

planting them in flats. I don’t know what type of soil to use but I guess I have time.

I think this is all I have to do. I also believe that this

is the right time to grow them. I have tried to read

as much as i can before hand and not ask a dumb question.

But it seems there are alot of different ways to grow them.

I don’t have alot of time or money to spend so I want something very easy.

Thank you all

Tee Jay…

Do you have a copy of the “Rose Hybridizing for Beginners”?

There is a lot of information in the booklet regarding stratification of seeds and starting seeds.

Thank u all very much.

I hope it answer alot of my questions.

I have take some hips blended them. Seems

like the blender smashed a couple of them.

I used water in the blender. I put them

in bounty towels with a little comet on them

and put alittle water on them in zip lock bags.

I hear that I can keep them in there for about

8 weeks then plant them.

This will be in winter though.

I read some of the webs site and they tell u all

kinds of different ways to do it.

I will order the book and I’m thinking of joining RHA.

Thank u all.
