Wow! Any that you are particularly excited about?

Yes, there are some that I am looking forward to, mainly a hybrid of Austin roses and Japanese blue roses.
For example:
Desdemona x Turn blue
Royal Jubilee x Lilas
etc

Very nice Chio! That’s a lot of seedlings, congratulations!
I made a few crosses using Royal Jubilee as the seed parent in 2023, but on a very small scale, only two hips per cross. RJ sets hips easily, but I was more focused on other crosses so didn’t do a lot on RJ. I used pollen parents: Charles de Gaulle and Tarde Gris. My RJ seeds are still in the fridge though. I will be looking forward to seeing your results with RJ×Lilas in particular!

Hi @Chio
Hope your seedlings are doing well!
Just wondering how the germination rate was for you with Royal Jubilee seeds.
Admittedly I made a very limited effort with this one, and only had 20 seeds, ten from each pollen parent. Germination for me has been very low: only one germinated (from Tarde Gris pollen), so I’m now giving them another cold cycle to try and boost that.
How was it for you?
