Description

The listing, 5 Rose Seeds has ended.

This is an auction for 5 rose seeds. These have been harvested from my garden 2013 and all stratification, and sterilization has been done. There is a great possibility that the color of these roses will be either red or pink like the one in the photo which is a photo of one of the roses in my yard.

Plant these in compost and put them in the sun. Or you can plant them under glass in the sun for a greenhouse effect.

*From the second photo to the next to last photo is the progress of the pink rose bush that grew for me over a year span, it sprouted the next year with pink blooms. It's still growing strong. The last photo is three other possible rose I found late that year, because I found them so late they didn't make it. I have another picture of a red rose somewhere that bloomed the first few months or so of sprouting, if I find it I will add it to this auction. This is the proof you need, this is not a fraudulent auction. That's not fair to accuse people of something that isn't true. The pink rose bush from seed started to get blooms by Mother's Day of the next year, the huge mother plant that's been here for years was also started by seed naturally outside on it's own. My dad almost threw it out because he thought it was a weed. These seeds may not all sprout but there will be some in my batches of seeds that will.*

And, if you still have doubts and are uneducated about if roses can grow from seeds, take a looksee of other's photos I found by just googling rose seedlings or roses from seed photos. I can't post the link here.

You cannot grow roses from seeds and get the same kind of roses. They are like apples, and must be carefully grafted from a plant that has the correct color, etc, onto a hardier and older plant. If the winner that get these seeds plants them, they will most likely NOT EVEN GET ONE SINGLE LIVING ROSE, AND IF THEY DO IT WILL TAKE TWO TO THREE YEARS TO EVEN GET A SINGLE BLOOM! There is no guarantee that it will even be PINK!!! Either you are uneducated about how roses are grown or you are trying to get points in an unethical way, just like those selling apple seeds! I suggest you remove this listing. It is not right, and I encourage those considering bidding to Google Growing Roses from Seeds and they will see I am telling them the truth. This listing is tantamount to fraud and you should take it down.

bethhorne I have had three roses grow from seed within the past few years of trying to grow them with proper stratification and cleaning. If they are done properly and planted in compost they will grow. I have photos of the progress of one of my rose seedlings for your documentation if you need it. I didn't grow more because I can't grow a lot of plants here like that. This is not a fraudulent auctions. Stop harassing me.

Not only that but I have had one other rose seedling flower the same year it sprouted (red)and the biggest one which is growing on the side of my house has flowered the second year (pink). They were both the same colors of the mother plants, red and pink. I have photos of the red and the pink. I went by instructions found on the Internet for an experimentation once before selling these seds. Go do your research properly.

More photos have been added of the progress of the pink rose bush from seed. The last photo is probably roses too but they died because i found them later in that year. I have a red rose photo that bloomed within the same year it sprouted, somewhere....

Then you got VERY lucky. Sometimes people think that the seeds germinate when actually it is the original rose that has spread and simply become larger. But if you got a different color rose from the plant, then you most likely did get lucky and got a cross pollenation from the rose bush. That is the difference between buying seeds and having naturally spreading ones from a living plant in a warm, viable climate for roses. They are meant to drop, grow, and will grow in those conditions, but they don't dry out. That is what I have to watch out for in my greenhouse, I cannot allow them to dry out completely, they have to be treated as they would be in nature-not dried and put in a packet. I have done my best to advise you. You do as you please, you are grown people and are free to do as you wish.

I am not sure what you're talking about when you said "Sometimes people think that the seeds germinate when actually it is the original rose that has spread and simply become larger. But if you got a different color rose from the plant, then you most likely did get lucky and got a cross pollenation from the rose bush." All I know is this was grown from the seeds of the plant and not any branch or cutting. I have done cuttings also and some grew and some did not. You get this with almost every plant anyways as far as most seeds go. I also use a weak tea water to help most seeds grow, including roses.

***Photo now posted of my red rose that bloomed the first few months after sprouting from seed last year. Sad to say I lost this one and the other one because they both rotted on the rusty old green barrel I had them on in some pots after a very very cold snowy winter. Had I known the winter would be that way I would have put them, directly in the grown so they would grow like the pink one from the prior year.***

I'm taking this down if no bids are placed soon, all because bethhorne wants to sabotage other's auctions!
