How to Grow Wild Rose Seeds:
-
Prepare the Seeds: To improve germination, begin by soaking wild rose seeds in water overnight. Alternatively, gently rub the seeds with sandpaper to soften the hard seed coats.
-
Cold Stratification: Wild rose seeds require cold stratification for successful germination. Place seeds in a moist paper towel, seal them in a plastic bag or container, and refrigerate for 90 days.
-
Sowing Instructions: After stratification, sow the seeds 1/4 inch (6 mm) deep in well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist but avoid overwatering to prevent sogginess until seeds germinate.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings reach about 2 inches (5 cm) tall, transplant them to their permanent location in the garden, ideally in a sunny spot with well-draining soil.
By following these steps, you'll create the ideal conditions for growing resilient, fragrant wild roses from seed.
