Germinating Rose Seeds
Rose seeds that have undergone cold treatment can germinate within 10 days. Those that have not undergone cold treatment will only have a few seeds that can germinate, and it takes 10-20 days for them to sprout, with uneven germination. Generally, there are several methods we use to germinate rose seeds:
1. Low-Temperature Germination
Rose seeds can be germinated at low temperatures by burying the seeds in moist sand and placing them in an environment of 0-2°C. After about 2-3 months of cold storage, the seeds can be taken out of storage. Then, as the temperature rises, the rose seeds will show white tips, and at this point, they can be sown in the soil.
2. Warm Water Germination
Rose seeds can also be germinated using the warm water soaking method. Clean the seeds and soak them in 40-50°C warm water for half an hour, then transfer them to clean water to soak.
3. Soaking and Drying Germination
Rose seeds can also be germinated using the soaking and drying method. First, soak the seeds in clean water for two days, and then dry them when they crack open.
How to Collect Rose Seeds
Rose fruit ripens around September and October, and they can be harvested at that time. The fruit that looks like small hawthorn berries at the top of the flower stem branches are the seeds.
Rose Seed Planting
Rose seeds can be planted directly, but if they are not pre-soaked for germination, it is difficult for them to sprout in the soil.
Rose seeds are generally sown in spring or autumn. It is necessary to choose sandy loam soil rich in organic matter. Before planting, the seeds need to be treated for germination. Sow the seeds with a dot method and cover them with a layer of plain sand. They will sprout in about a month.
