This might sound dumb, but where doe the seeds come from? I thought you needed to use either the knot or one of the flowers or branch to start new ones? Neighbor has a Lincoln red and would like to get one started from hers.

Some roses cannot be started from seeds, because the plants are sterile or the plant does not come true to the color of the parent. These are usually the so called hybrids, and this is true for almost all hybrid plants, not just roses. Your neighbor's rose that you mentioned'' "Lyncoln Red" is exactly such a hybrid tea rose. Hybrid tea roses are bread usually for the flower industry, since they are characterized by a single well formed bloom on a long sturdy branch which makes them very suitable for bouquets. And you are correct, Hybrid Tea Roses can only be propagated by cuttings.
All the roses I offer are either Floribunda Roses or Grandiflora Roses, different variety of rose characterized by a cluster of blooms on top of each stem as opposed as one single bloom that you find in Hybrid Teas. These can be started from seeds, granted, this is not the fastest way of propagation, but I find is so much more rewarding.
But if your idea for gardening is making a trip to the nursery and getting mature, blooming plants...staring from seeds is probably not for you:) But if have a bit of a patience and persistence, its perfect.
