Little Artist is underperforming as a seed parent for me. Not sure if it’s a miniature rose thing that they do poorly as seed parents. Anyone else have the same problem? I harvested two hips just now, the one had one seed, the other one pictured below has two

Since I wrote down the number of seeds per hip on the tags, I went to check my mini-mommas, and it seems like it varies wildly between individuals. WoA and LF produce almost twice the number as RoCo, but also as low as, so…?
I recall ‘Sweet Chariot’ was middling-generous too, but then some full sized individuals make only a few seeds per hip, then others have almost 100! Less than ten/hip and I’m like “I’m not mad, just disappointed”. lol Maybe the cheapskates are better as pollen-parents.
