Description

The listing, Rare China Deep Purple Rose has ended.

China Rose

According to Graham Stuart Thomas, China Roses are the class upon which modern roses are built.[7] Today's exhibition rose owes its form to the China genes, and the China Roses also brought slender buds which unfurl when opening.

Growing rose bushes from seed is a bit trickier than simply purchasing a plant and setting it into the ground. Lots of preparation and luck are involved in being successful in your growing ventures. However, you may find that the extra work needed in planting rose bushes from seed is enjoyable and will make you appreciate the roses even more when they finally come into bloom. With all the care you will put into growing the bushes from seed, be sure you stop and smell them.
remember you are bidding on 5 seeds.

why yes, you can grow roses in florida... what an idea! thanks for the info. what i wanted to know is if that type of rose grows well in hotter locations. what type of rootstock are they from? Fortuniana is one of the better for Florida, Dr. Huey, from my research is second best, and Multiflora is basically the worst for Florida. But, hey, you cannot be bothered to answer a question without an insult, I will just go down to my local floral shop and find the color i want. thank you.

I was not trying to be insulting at all, I do not know a thing about Florida, only that it is very south lol.
And as for they type of rose, the seeds come from China, That is about all I know I now have my seeds in the green house. Sorry I tried to help out with my link to information. No attitude on this end. Keep smiling

Just an outsider's opinion, I didn't think you were rude at all, thanks to the Internet age, people have since learned how to get offended and rip others off via electronic signal, but not do any research. I believe your description was very informative and adequate. On the + side, those roses are GORGEOUS! I wish my wife wasn't so allergic to any kind of "outdoors", I would buy in a heartbeat. GREAT seller, and I learned a lot from your auction.
