December I took all my hips from the freezer, soaked the seeds in peroxide and put them in some nice sand. So now the waiting begins!! So exited to see results of the crossing last summer! I didnt have to wait very lomg because the first seed popped open! First of this season is Newsflash x White after Rain.
I have kinda an explosion of germination right now, they popping up by the hour. Ive created a new setup McGuyver style and a LED growlamp is comming via the mail soon hopefully. Ive a lot seedlings stored at Rob…but there are a lot. A few White after Rain didn’t make it but last few days more popped open and are greenish. The first two where pale/albino.
Used similar structure when setup a misting system using thin, light, plant irrigation tubing and tiny rotating sprinkler heads - plastic covered enclosure and had run off recirculation. Used when had many out of zone cuttings - retired it as moved away from large number of cuttings.
I should of done something similar for my crosses that I brought in this year.
It’s piping of a pop up canopy i modified. Its aluminium material. It works like a charm so far. Lets hope it holds when I put more lights on the structure.
Very nice TimoNL! May I ask the parents of your striped seedling? I have been experimenting with Ferdinand Pichard, but I have nothing quite that nice yet.
They are beautiful, congratulations @TimoNL ! I really like that striped one, and you got a very nice looking blotch on the third one! Also lovely peachy color on the first one. I hope they will all stay healthy and look forward to more updates!
I used New Imagine on Warm Welcome. I hope Warm Welcome passes on its good health. It is the first one which blooms and wondering if it passes on its stripes also easy. I used a few striped roses but they all failed.
