Are those the seeds? When the petals fall off, theres that ball on the stem, when you break it open there is like "fur" and little seeds thats look like apple seeds, can I plant them? If so how long and hard is it? What does it look like after sprouting?
Thank you
Can you plant roses from the seed found inside the flower?
if the seeds you collected are little and seem 'empty' and dry and plate... You won't have roses. But if they look like an apple seed (big, quite round shaped or spherical) you may succeed in growing a rose! Have patience! Good luck!
Reply:Yes they are seeds. They will grow, but it will take years to flower and may not look good at all. Roses as we know them are grafted on the root stock from a known plant.
Reply:Yes, it is possible to grow roses from seeds. New varieties of roses are sometimes "created" this way. If you try it, and the seeds grow, you may get a stunning rose, or you may get something from the shallow end of the gene pool. But, you will never know unless you try.
I've some rose hips I need to break open and try this with.
Good luck.
Reply:It is very hard to grow roses from those seeds. Many of the rosebud hips are sterile.They make roses this way(if make is the right word) so people cannot copy the rose varities. You may not be aware of it, but every branded rose variety has a copyright or licence, and cannot be grown without permission of rose breeder. So the answer to your question is-no.
